Anxiety, depression, and attention problems interfere with our ability to function at home, school, or work, not to mention how they diminish our ability to enjoy life to its fullest. Children, teenagers, and adults can struggle with these issues, families experience significant stress trying to cope, and relationships can falter. Do not lose hope - help is available. With the proper combination of medication management and supportive counseling, significant improvements can be achieved in how we feel, think, and behave such as mood regulation, attention/concentration, sleep, behavior, and decreased anxiety.

As a psychiatric provider, my basis and foundation lies in my 10 years of nursing in the Emergency, Psychiatric, and Crisis settings.

My goal is to ensure you live, full and fulfilling lives in your home, community, and career.

So big that they have a hard time going throughout the day without several meltdowns? Does your adolescent have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep?

Is it hard to know whether or not what they are experiencing is because of their age or context, or something that needs professional expertise?

Currently only taking past patients and those with referrals from Therapists we work with. Hello, Wondering if you have ADHD? Feeling stuck with executive dysfunction- Let's talk.
Treatment specialties- Missed diagnosis of ADHD in middle aged persons, especially Women. This is missed so often in highly intelligent persons who have found ways to compensate, but it catches up to you. We are also firm believers there can be a perimenopausal trigger, so many women say the same thing "I feel like I am losing it".
Patients with me usually say they felt heard and validated, I appreciate that complement.
