My journey into psychiatry began with a deep love for listening to people’s stories—their struggles, strengths, and hopes for transformation. This calling led me to earn my MSN from Vanderbilt University and continues to guide my work today.
I offer a holistic approach that blends medication management with psychotherapy, honoring all the parts of you that have developed to survive, protect, and cope. I believe healing happens when we address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—grounded in the understanding that we are all human: complex, ever-changing, and deserving of compassion.
Outside of work, I enjoy creating art, exploring the world, sharing meaningful moments with my daughter, and grounding myself in nature. These experiences keep me connected to the values of balance, presence, and connection that I bring into my therapeutic work.
