You may be an adult experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD or other mood disorders that affect concentration, motivation, work, or relationships. You’re looking for accurate diagnosis, clear guidance, and psychiatric care that is careful and unhurried. Perhaps you’ve tried medication before and want a psychiatrist who listens closely, makes thoughtful adjustments, and supports steady, lasting improvement—greater focus, emotional balance, and confidence in daily life.
I specialize in adult ADHD, anxiety, OCD, depression, mood disorders and PTSD, providing careful psychiatric evaluation and individualized medication management via secure telemedicine. My approach is evidence-based and collaborative, with an emphasis on improving focus, emotional stability, and day-to-day functioning. I provide care in TX and CO.
Reaching out for psychiatric care can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially if past treatment hasn’t fully helped. You deserve care that is thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to your individual needs. If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who listens carefully and works collaboratively, I invite you to take the next step toward getting the care you need.
