As a board-eligible psychiatrist with a PhD in neuroscience, I offer a unique, integrative approach that blends the latest research with personalized, compassionate care. My training includes general psychiatry residency at Dell Medical School, alongside a strong research background in neuromodulation, mood disorders, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. I specialize in treating mood, anxiety, trauma-related, and substance use disorders, and I’m particularly passionate about interventions that work quickly and effectively.
In our work together, my goal is to meet you where you are—with empathy, respect, and evidence-based strategies tailored to your needs. Whether you're navigating a challenging season or facing a chronic mental health condition, I’m here to partner with you in building a path forward.
Healing is not always linear, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to explore the next step in your mental health journey, I welcome you to reach out. Together, we can find a treatment approach that honors both the science and the humanity behind recovery.
