With over a decade of experience in psychiatry and other specialties, I am here to help you achieve your goals by creating a personalized, supportive plan. Using approaches like CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused care, I specialize in treating OCD, anxiety, depression, borderline personality, sleep issues, eating disorders, and more. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, address challenges, and build skills to help you grow, thrive, and create the fulfilling life you deserve.

By providing a TRULY judgement-free space for you to openly share your thoughts, feelings and behaviors we will get to the root of what is causing you distress and work as a team to mitigate these and replace maladaptive behaviors with positive behaviors and routine.

I understand how overwhelming life can feel, and I’m here to help you navigate those challenges with empathy and personalized care and together find balance. We’ll explore strategies that empower you to thrive and instill autonomy. You don’t have to face this alone; let’s work toward the goals that matter most to you.
