I am a Board-Certified Adult Psychiatrist and Board-Eligible in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry working at Collaborative Counseling Center. I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of a broad range of mental health conditions in both children and adults, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and neuropsychiatric disorders. I work collaboratively with families, schools, and other providers to ensure that care is well-coordinated and effective. I’m especially passionate about LGBTQIA+ mental health, climate-related anxiety and distress, minority mental health and building community-based resilience.
I take a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach to care—combining psychotherapy and medication management to meet patient’s unique needs. I’ve had the privilege of working in various settings, including adult & child inpatient units, outpatient specialty clinics, residential schools, addiction treatment centers, and assertive community treatment programs.
I provide compassionate, client-centered psychiatric care starting with a thorough and thoughtful evaluation. I take the time to truly get to know you—your experiences, concerns, and goals to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to you. This may include medication management as well as other evidence-based mental health interventions.
