My ideal client is seeking support for challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and insomnia, and may also be exploring options for treatment-resistant symptoms. They are often looking for clarity, practical strategies, and a personalized approach that integrates medication management, therapy, and alternative interventions when appropriate, such as ketamine and Spravato. Many seek to better understand their diagnosis, set clear therapeutic goals, and develop tools to improve daily life. They value a provider who listens, offers education, and supports informed decision-making.

I offer personalized psychiatric care, including evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, and advanced options like ketamine therapy and Spravato. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, insomnia, and ADHD. My inclusive, client-centered approach empowers you with knowledge, clear goals, and effective coping tools.

Reaching out for support takes courage, and you deserve care that feels safe, thoughtful, and personalized. I’ll listen without judgment, help you make sense of your experiences, and work alongside you to create meaningful, lasting change. We’ll explore what healing looks like for you—at your pace, in your way. When you're ready.
