Let's Connect (401) 229-4135

My style is warm, curious, and grounded. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, or just feeling stuck, we’ll work together to create meaningful, sustainable change. I take a thoughtful approach to medication when needed, while also looking beyond prescriptions to understand the full picture. My work is rooted in evidence-based psychiatry, with a whole-person lens that considers biology, lifestyle, and overall health. You don’t have to have everything figured out to get started.

A calm, welcoming space that reflects a thoughtful approach to care.

Care includes psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy, with a collaborative approach focused on stability. Care may include evidence-based supplements and laboratory testing when appropriate, based on your preference for a focused or more integrative approach.

I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. Care is always personalized to you. If this feels like the kind of care you’ve been looking for, I’d be happy to connect. In-person sessions available Mondays and select Saturdays. Virtual appointments available throughout the week.
