I understand how heavy it can feel when your child is struggling; when homework ends in tears, when worry clouds their joy, or when social situations feel overwhelming, especially for those on the autism spectrum. I’ve seen how these challenges can quietly erode confidence and strain even the most loving relationships. Whether you’re a parent aching to see your child’s smile return, or a young adult longing for relief and understanding, I’m here to listen with compassion, honor your story, and walk alongside you as we build balance, confidence, and a renewed sense of hope.
I provide concierge telepsychiatry for ages 5–25, supporting those facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, autism, and sleep challenges. Blending science with compassion, I use CBT, parent coaching, QbCheck ADHD testing, and holistic tools to create care that truly fits your life—walking alongside you and your family toward healing and lasting growth.
I know how isolating it can feel when challenges steal joy and peace from everyday life. You are not alone. Together, we can uncover what’s getting in the way and create a path toward clarity, balance, and renewed hope. When you’re ready, I’m here to listen, guide, and walk beside you every step of the way.
