I work with people who encounter frequent, strong emotions that they experience as problematic and then find themselves avoiding the life they want to live. My patients may struggle with intense anxiety and worry, distressing depression, or problems with focus, concentration, and productivity. We work together to remind you of your strengths, values, and goals and create a holistic plan that works for you. Instead of avoiding your life, you will learn to accept and tolerate your emotions and get back to doing the things that are meaningful for you.

As a psychiatrist, I believe that everyone should have access to quality mental health care.

Are you tired of the 15 minute ‘med check’ style of psychiatric practice? Me too. I specialize in treatment of individuals with a history of trauma and/or depression and anxiety that have not responded to traditional treatments. When a client says, “I’ve tried every medicine out there – none of them work,” my response is, “Let’s dig deeper.” I practice from a trauma-informed perspective. I'm endlessly curious and a creative thinker - both of these traits shape how I prescribe medications and which non-medication treatments recommendations I make.

I work with women just like you—high achievers, dreamers, and doers—who feel stuck in their anxiety, low self-esteem, or the weight of past trauma.
Do you ever find yourself caught in a cycle of anxiety, self-doubt, or the lingering weight of past relationships? You’re crushing it in so many areas of your life—working hard, chasing your dreams—but it still feels like anxiety, perfectionism, and self-criticism are holding you back from truly thriving. You might replay old experiences in your mind, feeling like you’ll never quite be enough. I get it—it’s frustrating when you’re doing everything you can, but it still doesn’t feel like you’re living the life you know you’re capable of.
