You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or the challenges of managing bipolar disorder or OCD. Perhaps you’re struggling with substance use and searching for a way out but unsure where to start. You want to regain control of your life, find relief from your symptoms, and discover a path that feels both sustainable and right for you. You deserve personalized, compassionate care that focuses on you as a whole person, not just your diagnosis. I specialize in providing comprehensive psychiatric care, combining evidence-based medication management with psychotherapy approaches such as CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy.
With extensive experience in treating a wide range of mental health issues, I focus on accurate diagnosis through thorough initial screenings, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment plan. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful, long-lasting improvement in your mental health.
I believe in a holistic approach to care, where your body, mind, spirit, and relationships are all considered in your treatment plan. By carefully selecting medications that complement psychotherapy and your unique needs, I strive to provide relief with minimal side effects. Let’s work together to find the best path forward for you.
