Same week appointments available for psychiatric evaluations, med management, and holistic treatment planning. Are you exhausted from trying to keep it together? Maybe your mind won’t slow down, sleep feels impossible, or you’re feeling stuck. You don’t have to go through this alone—I’m here to help you regain clarity and balance. Hi! I’m Anita. I specialize I anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar and mood disorders, women’s mental health concerns, and sleep difficulties. I’m dual board-certified in Psychiatry and Family Medicine, with over 9 years of experience supporting those through complex mental health challenges.
My approach is holistic, integrative and whole-person focused. I look beyond symptoms to understand how biology, stress, lifestyle, and life experiences all play a role. Treatment is evidence-based, personalized, and collaborative. When appropriate, care may include medication management alongside nutritional guidance and lifestyle optimization.
I believe effective care begins with feeling heard and respected. Working together, we’ll check in regularly to see what’s helping and what may need adjustment as your needs evolve. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out. For the fastest response, please send a message here or book via my website. I look forward to hearing from you!
