I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, and autism, and I also treat depression, trauma and PTSD, OCD, perinatal and postpartum mental health, eating disorders, women's issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.
I came to psychiatry through community field nursing as a home visitor, caring for culturally diverse patients in their own homes, and that still shapes how I practice. I combine solution-focused brief treatment, supportive therapy with motivational interviewing, and culturally sensitive care. Medication is one tool among several, not the whole answer.

FAQ - Autism Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with autism spectrum disorder?
Autism spectrum disorder, often referred to simply as autism, is a developmental condition defined by social, communication, and behavioral differences. These challenges can make it difficult for individuals with autism to form and maintain relationships, adapt to changing environments, or thrive in traditional school settings. Symptoms of autism typically emerge in early childhood and are often first noticed by caregivers who observe difficulties in social interactions, the presence of repetitive behaviors, or unusually intense interests in specific topics. Children with autism may also show heightened sensitivity to certain sensory experiences, such as loud noises, bright lights, or specific textures in food or clothing.

How do psychiatrists diagnose and support children with autism?
Psychiatrists, often working in partnership with a pediatrician or developmental specialist, can play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment planning for children with autism. Diagnosis usually begins with an evaluation to assess the child's development, behavior, and overall functioning. Psychiatrists with expertise in autism are skilled at distinguishing the condition from other developmental or behavioral conditions that may share overlapping features, such as learning disorders. After diagnosis, psychiatrists may recommend a variety of supports, including behavioral interventions like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), occupational therapy, and/or family counseling. While there is no medication specific to autism, psychiatrists may prescribe medication to help manage co-occurring conditions like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or anxiety.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in autism?
Because autism presents differently in each individual and is typically identified in childhood, it is especially important to find a psychiatrist with experience working with young children and families. The Psychology Today online directory can help identify providers who specialize in autism and allows for filters based on treatment approaches, age group, and other preferences. When selecting a provider, it is helpful to ask about their specific experience with autism, their philosophy on therapy and medication use, and how they coordinate care with therapists, educators, and other members of a child's care team. Practical factors—such as appointment availability, insurance acceptance, and whether the provider offers in-person or telehealth visits—should also be taken into account to ensure a good fit.
