I provide short-term bridge care for a wide variety of mental and behavioral health needs (including anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders) getting you in quicker while giving you time to find and establish with a long-term prescriber. I believe healing starts with being heard. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel seen and respected. Never rushed or judged. Using a client-centered approach and expert psychiatric medication management, I’ll help you navigate symptoms, clarify your goals, and build a plan that fits your life. I'm here to walk with you, not ahead of you.
I specialize in psychiatric medication management for anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders. I offer client-directed, short-term or bridge care to support you while you wait to connect with a long-term provider. Together, we’ll build a personalized plan to help you feel more balanced, supported, and in control.
I know reaching out for help isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to do this alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just unsure of what’s next, I’m here to support you with compassion and care. When you're ready, I invite you to take that next step and we'll move forward together.
