You may be noticing that your child is struggling with anxiety, excessive worries, emotional outbursts, difficulty focusing, impulsivity, school challenges, low motivation, or changes in mood and behavior. You may feel worried, overwhelmed, or unsure how to help. I work with children, adolescents, and families navigating concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges. My goal is to create a supportive environment where both children and parents feel heard, understood, and equipped with a plan moving forward.
I went into psychiatry with a dream of improving people’s lives, not just over-medicating. I combine therapy, parent support, nutraceuticals, nutrition coaching, metabolic health and comprehensive lab testing to uncover the root causes of your child’s symptoms. My goal is to minimize medication while helping strengthen your child emotionally and physically.
With personal experience in anxiety and ADHD and being a mother to two, I understand the challenges you and your child face. My service in the Army Reserve and experience as a military wife provide a unique perspective for supporting military families. I have immediate openings this month and accept major commercial insurances through GrowTherapy & Headway

I focus primarily on medication management, but when time allows, I also integrate supportive therapy into visits. This may include CBT, behavioral activation, problem-solving strategies, or motivational interviewing to best support your child's progress. My Christian faith shapes the way I listen, encourage, and walk alongside families, bringing both science and compassion into care.
