Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, mood changes, or simply don't feel like yourself. I work with children (6+), teens, and adults to provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care. Together, we'll create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive therapy, education, and collaboration with your therapist or primary care provider. My goal is to help you feel better, better understand yourself, and move forward with confidence.
I provide thoughtful, patient-centered psychiatric care using a collaborative, trauma-informed approach. I work with patients age 6 through 65, creating personalized plans that may include medication, education, and brief therapy to help you feel more steady and supported. I have a special interest in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
Starting mental health care can feel intimidating, especially when things already feel overwhelming. I work to create a respectful, collaborative space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we move forward at a pace that feels manageable and realistic.
