I offer warm, thoughtful, and grounded psychiatric care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, overwhelm, and life transitions. My approach is focused on lasting change, not just symptom relief, by understanding the patterns, stressors, and deeper factors shaping your mental health. You do not need to have everything figured out before getting started.
Care includes comprehensive evaluation, medication management, supportive therapy, and addressing factors that may affect treatment. Some patients want focused medication support, while others prefer a biological and integrative approach that considers sleep, stress, nutrition, evidence based supplements, and labs when helpful. We can do either, or both.
My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered. In person sessions are available Mondays and select Saturdays, with virtual appointments throughout the week.
