Your strength has led you here in this moment to take the next step in embracing a new path, a different future. I’m here to help guide you - through psychiatric evaluation/diagnosis and medication management. You don't need to keep self-medicating with technology, social media, food, and alcohol to feel happy, dull your emotional pain or shame, or escape your feelings. Wake up feeling rested, worthy, and motivated. Reconnect with others and find joy in the simple things again. Experience peace in your life by making healthier choices and building healthier relationships with yourself and others.
I've been working in the mental health field since 2017 and have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar, insomnia, addictions, and other conditions. I have worked closely with veterans battling PTSD and substance misuse. By providing both med management and brief therapy, I aim to empower my clients and simplify treatment.
When you're ready, contact me. Let's discuss the changes you desire and how our work together can get you there.

I use an integrative treatment approach that pulls from cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and solutions focused therapies coupled with medication management if appropriate. During treatment, we'll cultivate mindfulness in identifying any unhelpful or harmful patterns. With CBT, you'll learn methods of regaining control of your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings for a healthier you.
