Wondering about starting therapy or medications? Proudly trained in both approaches, I offer a balanced perspective on how to improve your life. As my patient, you can expect me to put your personal goals at the forefront, with medication recommendations to supplement your success if needed. You have my time, attention, and advocacy. Unlike the big corporate practices, I build in ample time to prioritize you - including every minute of your scheduled appointment and time needed to coordinate your care with other people on your team. You will have my support when navigating workplace or school limitations.
I routinely treat adult patients with a range of concerns, including mood changes, anxiety and stress, grief, substance use, challenges with focusing, relationship issues, insomnia, and disordered eating. Paring down complex medication lists and improving side effects are some of my favorite puzzles to solve. Your treatment should not cost you your comfort.
I practice with a Safe Space approach and welcome patients of all genders, cultures, and sexualities. Expect me to celebrate every element of who you are while in my care. If you are looking for a psychiatrist who is ready to prescribe herself to your goals, please inquire through my website, PurpleSageMD. com.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
  • Culturally Sensitive

  • Interpersonal
  • Psychodynamic
"
I use several models in my approach. Cognitive behavioral therapy addresses specific behavior or thought pattern changes, while dialectical behavioral therapy provides skills for you to use in relationships and daily activities. Psychodynamic therapy delves deep into past experiences and how they affect your life now. I take time to find the approach best suited for your personality and goals.
