I believe that the key to effective treatment depends upon a strong collaborative alliance between patient and physician. The difficulties you are experiencing are most likely a combination of physiological and psychological problems.Treatment begins with a comprehensive review of your physical, emotional state and social well being. If you need medication we will discuss the various options. Together we will take into account your unique circumstances and arrive at a personalized treatment plan. Subsequent visits will moniter your response to the medication and help you learn how the medication works.

As a psychiatrist, my work starts with listening. I try to not only hear a person’s story, but understand their unique perspective because meeting a person where they are at is a necessary foundation for healing. My goals are to alleviate suffering and help individuals reach greater self-understanding. Working towards these goals always involves partnering with a patient and deciding together what specific steps or treatment methods best fit their unique needs and preferences, whether that includes medication, psychotherapy, or both. While I’m trained in wide range of psychiatric conditions, I have several areas of expertise.

Hi, I'm Eliza. Are you feeling stuck—too drained to do the things that make you feel better, but feeling worse because you’re not doing them? I get it. With 16 years of experience, I work with you to find a treatment plan that fits you—whether that means therapy, lifestyle changes, medication (if needed), or a mix of all three. My approach isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you—it’s about understanding what your mind and body need to feel more balanced.

I work with clients who experience anxiety, depression, mood swings, ADHD, and sleep difficulties. Many come to me after trying other treatments without success and are seeking new, personalized options. Together, we focus on understanding your symptoms, building practical coping strategies, and creating a tailored plan that may include medication, therapy, integrative approaches, and when appropriate, ketamine or Spravato. My clients value having a provider who listens, explains clearly, and helps them make informed decisions about their care.
