I am a board-certified psychiatrist providing care for children, teens, and adults. I treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, behavioral concerns, and sleep issues, with a focus on practical, effective treatment. Many patients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not improving with current treatment. My goal is to simplify care, reduce unnecessary medications when possible, and help you feel better as quickly and safely as possible. I provide straightforward, supportive care and work with you to find the right treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle. Virtual appointments in all Louisiana and Texas.
Together, we can understand underlying causes, build coping skills, and create personalized strategies for emotional and behavioral health. Using a holistic approach, I combine therapy, lifestyle guidance, and medication management when needed, always minimizing unnecessary medications and supporting your overall physical and mental health.
If you or your loved one are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, grieving, or confused, you are not alone. I provide a compassionate, supportive space to explore challenges, gain insight, and find relief. I invite you to reach out so we can work together toward healing, balance, and lasting well-being.
