Tele-psychiatric medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder — serving adults statewide in Indiana. I specialize in medication management for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar spectrum disorders, and sleep-related concerns, with an emphasis on practical, evidence-based treatment. My approach is collaborative, structured, and focused on helping patients feel clearer, more stable, and better able to function in daily life. I work with adults who want thoughtful medication management combined with supportive, skills-based care.
I work well with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or misunderstood, including those struggling with focus and executive functioning, anxiety, mood instability, sleep disruption, or emotional burnout. Many of my patients are professionals or individuals managing multiple responsibilities who want treatment that is clear, respectful and realistic.
I have been working in psychiatry for many years because I really do care about people being the best they can be and feeling the best they can. Knowing I have made a difference for someone is what fills my cup. Finding the correct plan and having measurable improvement for your life is what drives me. Looking forward to meeting you soon.
