With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in comprehensive, compassionate mental health care for diverse groups, including seniors, bariatric patients, and individuals tackling codependency. Whether addressing treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or mood issues, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space where open dialogue meets tailored solutions. I blend medication management with therapeutic techniques like CBT, DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, and supportive therapy to help you understand and manage your emotions.
My background includes psychiatric evaluations, pre- and post-bariatric surgery evaluations and treatment, and effective coping strategies for long-term success. By integrating personality assessments and value inventories when beneficial, I help you understand the patterns that shape your life and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Expect honesty and dedication in our time together. Therapy demands trust and a willingness to confront challenging truths, but it is also a place for growth and renewal. I want you to feel supported and empowered as we collaborate on practical, personalized strategies to meet your mental health needs and pave the way toward a more fulfilling life.
