Same week or next week appointments available for psychiatric evaluations and med management. In network with most commercial insurances. Hello! I’m Anita. I’m double board-certified in Psychiatry and Family Medicine, with over 9 years of experience supporting those through complex mental health challenges. I believe in the power of listening with acceptance and compassion, and most importantly, without judgement. I specialize in anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar/mood disorders, women’s mental health issues, and sleep disorders.
I look beyond symptoms to understand how biology, stress, lifestyle, and life experiences all play a role. My approach includes a combination of medication management alongside holistic interventions, nutritional guidance and lifestyle optimization. Treatment plans are always evidence-based, personalized, and collaborative.
I believe effective care begins with feeling heard and respected. Working together, we’ll check in 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!
