I’m a board-certified Physician Assistant with a background in psychology and over six years of experience in psychiatry. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Florida State University and went on to complete my Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies at Nova Southeastern University.
I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. I believe that treatment works best when it’s collaborative, so I take the time to listen and work with you to develop a plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
What motivates me most is seeing the progress my patients make, whether that means finding relief from symptoms, gaining clarity, or building skills for long-term wellness. At Animo Sano Psychiatry, I’m grateful to be part of a supportive team that shares my commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.

Mental health often carries unique challenges and stigma, and being able to provide patients with a safe, supportive environment where they feel heard and respected is deeply meaningful to me. What motivates me most is knowing that my work can make a real difference, whether it's helping someone find hope during a difficult time, supporting long-term recovery,or simply being there in their journey
