Stuck in a cycle of stress, anxiety, or frustration? Struggling to stay focused, find balance, or manage emotions? If you’re ready to take back control of your mental health, understand what’s really going on, and start feeling like yourself again — I will help.
With my training as Chief Resident at the University of Florida and a Master’s of Education from Harvard, I combine evidence-based care with a focus on patient education, equipping you to make informed decisions about your mental health. I offer both medication management and psychotherapy, and I treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, trauma, and much more.
I understand that each mental health condition is as unique as the individual, and treating it effectively requires a personalized approach. I also know life can be busy, so I offer flexible appointment hours, including evenings and weekends. Taking the first step can feel difficult, but I’m here to provide support in a compassionate, judgment-free space.
