I am extremely excited to provide care to a wide variety of people currently struggling with issues of day-to-day life, specializing in depression, anxiety, insomnia, and ADHD (among many other issues), treating nearly the entire lifespan, starting at age 6. No matter what your current issue, I can assure you that I will do all that they can to make you feel comfortable, providing excellent patient-focused care. I provide medication management services including supportive psychotherapy and mindfulness. I am partnered with Headway for credentialing. Currently only accepting patients in Arizona through Valley Psychiatry.
I believe in person-centered care, taking a very meticulous approach, making the patient feel heard for whatever struggles they may be facing. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to doing all that I can to help you through this journey.
I believe wholeheartedly in transparency when it comes to treating patients. Full disclosure on treatment options along with detailed education partnered with a very caring approach is what I strive for. Let's work together today for a better tomorrow. I hope to hear from you soon!
