I work with individuals who are motivated to feel better, function better, and build a better life with the support of evidence-based psychiatric treatment. This includes children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, substance use disorders, and complex mental health needs. Clients may be navigating new concerns or long-standing conditions and often seek accessible, respectful care. My goal is to provide individualized, collaborative treatment that promotes stability, dignity, and meaningful improvement in mental health and quality of life
I provide evidence-based psychiatric care across the lifespan, including evaluation, medication management, and ongoing treatment for mood, anxiety, trauma-related, neurodevelopmental, substance use, and complex mental health conditions. Care is delivered virtually with a compassionate, patient-centered approach
Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, and you do not have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where you feel heard and supported. If you are ready to take the next step toward feeling better, I invite you to reach out. I am here to support and guide you. It is a partnership.

I work with clients struggling with bipolar disorder, mood instability, depression, or anxiety that affect relationships, work, and daily life. In our first sessions, we'll explore your symptoms and develop a treatment plan together. Many clients begin to notice improved mood stability, clearer thinking, and better functioning within the first few weeks of treatment.

These are the treatment types I use, and this is what your experience will be like: I focus on comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and medication management with supportive clinical guidance.
