I have particular interest in complex PTSD, ADHD, substance use dependence, normalizing the concept of neurodivergence, and emerging research on psychedelic medicine.
Traditional psychiatric practices can be rigid and often push patients into boxes. I believe everyone falls on a continuum of multiple diagnoses, most of which are rooted in generational and childhood trauma (cPTSD). I hope to support my patients both pharmacologically and therapeutically on their journey to understanding and accepting themselves fully. I believe in treating the “whole-person” and emphasize the importance of exploring mind-body connection through mindfulness practices.

My passion and appreciation for mental health began at a young age. My mother worked as an inpatient behavioral health Registered Nurse, which provided a roof over our heads and food on our table. As a family, we respected the field not only for what it provided for us but also for teaching us that all human beings need access to the mental health care that they deserve. Watching my mom, I learned that all people from all cultures and all walks of life need compassionate care because our ideas, stories, memories, sanity, and communication skills unify us as human beings.

I help adolescents and adults who appear strong and capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. Many are high-functioning individuals navigating anxiety, mood instability, trauma, ADHD, sleep difficulties, or major life transitions. They want to understand what’s happening in their minds and bodies, feel more stable and grounded, regain focus and motivation, and move forward with clarity and confidence. I support those seeking thoughtful, collaborative care and meaningful, sustainable change over time.

Living with a psychiatric disorder is tough. Ordinary things that should make you happy don’t. Ordinary relationships become difficult. Even if you can see that you’re succeeding, sometimes you just can’t feel it. When you work with me, I’m in there with you: finding positive vision and hope, working week by week with what hurts. I believe that all experiences can be ultimately integrated, and inside that physical machine is a beautiful human being, aching not just to heal, but to blossom into full authentic function.

Are you concerned your psychiatrist might diagnose & prescribe medication ("match the pill to the ill") without addressing root causes of your problem? Most psychiatrists don't look at the brain as part of the body & don't think about underlying conditions such as inflammation, an unhealthy gut, high toxin load, food sensitivities, or "out-of-whack" hormones (to name just a few). These conditions don't just affect your body, but also affect your brain, resulting in depression, anxiety, insomnia, "brain fog" & other psychological symptoms. Medication can work spectacularly well, but often doesn't, if the body is too imbalanced.
