I help women and healthcare workers who are doing their best to hold everything together, yet feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or out of sync on the inside. Many are navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, or life transitions while continuing to move forward. They’re often seeking care that feels calm, thoughtful, and grounded in real life.
I provide psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management for women navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and education-focused, with time to understand what’s been going on and what support may be most helpful moving forward.
If you’re feeling ready to explore what might actually support you, you’re welcome to reach out and see whether this feels like a good fit. I offer care that is steady, respectful, and realistic, with options for in-person care in Oregon and telehealth statewide. A 15-minute consultation can be scheduled through my website.

Many of the people I work with reach out while functioning well on the outside but quietly struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, or a sense that something isn't sustainable anymore. This often includes burnout, trauma, or big life transitions that don't fit neatly into a diagnosis. Treatment is collaborative and paced, focused on relief that feels realistic and respectful of your unique life.
