As a board-certified general adult psychiatrist with specialized training in psychotherapy, my approach to patient care is rooted in forming meaningful connections with patients. I wholeheartedly believe that psychological suffering stems from a blend of biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors. My patients and I work together to uncover these factors and create treatment plans tailored to their specific needs.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of adults. After earning my Bachelor’s in Biochemistry from Rice University, I completed my medical degree at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. I then completed my residency training at UIC in Chicago, where I focused on the individual treatment of adult patients with mood and anxiety disorders using a comprehensive approach to mental health involving medication and therapy. However, during training, I also gained valuable experience managing a vast array of conditions, including ADHD, substance use disorders, and PTSD, among many others.

We believe that healing occurs relationally, through being accepted when one is their fully Authentic Self. Our diverse network of providers practice from a heart-centered approach and are here to meet each individual on their own unique timeline. Symptoms of our mind-body are often times trying to communicate, so we listen to the whole-person instead of just trying to suppress them from talking. We will empower one’s Self-Agency, encourage a variety of approaches to build the foundation, regulate the nervous system, improve presence, decrease stress reactivity, stabilize mood, and attune to the inputs & outputs of our Energy.

From time to time, our lives take an unexpected turn for the worse. We may suffer injury; succumb to physical or emotional illness, or experience conflict, loss, misfortune. Trauma and chronic disability may affect our loved ones or us. Life adversities may temporarily overwhelm our ability to carry on. We may turn pessimistic, doubtful, and hopeless. Feel demoralized, worried, and anxious. Suffer sadness, distress, and anguish. Become angry and resentful. Feel distrustful and quarrel with others. Recognize our isolation and loneliness. At such times, we could benefit from a psychiatric evaluation and treatment, including psychotherapy and prescription medicine.

With the economic, political, and environmental uncertainties of today it is understandable to feel confused or lost. Many young adults experience exhaustion from juggling their education, work, and social lives. With so many obligations it is understandable to dread the morning alarm as the endless list of tasks await. However, with support it is possible to develop effective coping skills that allow you to navigate these uncertainties.

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.
