As a psychiatrist, I believe effective care starts with truly listening. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns, offering a thoughtful, individualized approach to treatment. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not like yourself, my goal is to help you regain a sense of balance and clarity. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based care. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management, while also considering the broader context of your life—your experiences, stressors, and goals. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all.
I am a psychiatrist who works with children, adolescents, and adults, helping individuals manage concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other mental health challenges. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and personalized medication management, always taking a thoughtful, whole-person approach to care.
My focus is on creating safe, effective, and sustainable treatment plans that support long-term stability and well-being. I take time to understand your unique experiences and collaborate with you to find the right approach for your needs. While I offer medication management, I do not prescribe benzodiazepines or stimulant medications for adult ADHD.
