Seeking help is a brave and personal decision. As someone who has faced and overcome depression and anxiety, I know how hard it can be to take that first step. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to begin your healing journey.
I’m a board-certified psychiatrist with over 10 years of experience treating a wide range of mental health and substance use concerns. I take a thoughtful, collaborative approach—working with you to create a personalized plan that fits your life, values, and goals.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs—whether that involves medication, therapy, behavioral modifications, or a holistic treatment plan. I believe in treating the whole person, not just symptoms, and I strive to build a strong, trusting relationship where you feel safe, respected, and empowered in your care.
At Better Choices Psychiatry, our mission is simple: We will help you understand the “why” behind your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, so you can begin to make healthier, more fulfilling choices in your life. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, you’re not alone. We're here to walk alongside you with empathy, honesty, and care.
