Imagine waking up with more clarity—your thoughts no longer racing, your energy no longer crashing by midday. You’re not just surviving the day, burned out or behind.

Together, we explore what’s beneath the exhaustion—whether it’s mood shifts, past trauma, or cultural and family expectations—to create meaningful, lasting change.

During my time working in primary care I have observed significant deficits in access to quality mental health care for both the geriatric and adult populations including patients with dementia, major depressive disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and substance use disorder. I’ve become focused on helping fill in those gaps in care. So often medications are quickly prescribed to manage complex issues that need an interdisciplinary and holistic approach. I obtained my buprenorphine waiver to help contribute to a solution of the opiate crisis which I have seen devastate the lives of people of all ages.
