I’m a board-certified Physician Assistant with a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Psychiatry and a Master of Health Science. Since 2018, I’ve cared for individuals across all stages of life, and currently focus on perinatal mental health. My experience includes crisis stabilization, addiction recovery, and supportive outpatient treatment. I take a collaborative and attentive approach, combining thoughtful medication management with education to help clients feel confident in their care. I believe mental health is the foundation of well-being and strive to create a supportive space for hope and healing.
Our specialization at Better Beginnings is perinatal mental health (fertility, pregnancy, loss, postpartum) and women's mental health across the lifespan; however, we also serve patients outside of this specialty as well- ages 13 +. Additionally, we offer ADHD evaluations and treatment.
I look forward to working with you as a partner in your health and care.
