I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. Many people I work with describe patterns like high-functioning anxiety, constant mental load, anticipatory worry, and trouble relaxing; depression that looks like numbness, fatigue that rest does not fix, low motivation, or pulling away from others; ADHD-related challenges with focus, follow-through, organization, and mental overwhelm; trauma-related symptoms such as hypervigilance, emotional reactivity, shutdown, or feeling stuck in survival mode; or mood concerns that may include major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, persistent depressive disorder, or PMDD.

My ideal client is an adult or young adult who is emotionally exhausted from trying to “hold it together” while silently struggling. They may appear functional on the outside—working, parenting, or meeting responsibilities—but internally they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand.

Are you feeling tired, can't keep up with your daily routine, emotional for no reason, dealing with overwhelming stress? You may be struggling with untreated medical symptoms. These symptoms can be treated with the guidance of a physician. "Let's talk and see what happens." I hope to keep things as open as possible, because not every patient will present with a textbook case of issues. I strive to find a way to connect with each patient in a way that respects their autonomy and dignity.

Taking your child to a psychiatrist is not an easy decision. Many parents have concerns about unnecessarily medicating their child or labeling them with a diagnosis at such a young age. As a physician and as a parent, I take those concerns very seriously. I do a lot of groundwork before I diagnose a child. I use validated rating scales completed by multiple sources and I always work in conjunction with a therapist. I take a family-centric approach to treatment. For school evaluations, I see my role as an advocate for the child, while not losing sight of the school's perspective.
