I am currently providing medication management services to manage most psychiatric conditions of all ages. I treat all ages (5+ years old and up) but my primary focus has been in pediatrics and adolescents with treatment of depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, PTSD, and mood disorders. I have a Neuropsychiatric background which offers a particular skillset in behavioral management of those with Developmental Disabilities and those on the Neurodivergent spectrum.

Many adults experience mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety; management of sleep issues, such as insomnia; and cognitive challenges that often present as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Many people seek to live a healthy, satisfying life but find that psychological/emotional concerns prevent them from reaching their goals by robbing them of motivation, energy, focus and concentration.

I have mostly worked in women's health and oncology.
Ever feel like you are just barely getting by, drowning in all the to-do's. Feeling like you are just not good enough, will you ever get there? As a society, we have been exceptional at ensuring perfection is the only way to be happy. But who says? Who gets to dictate what perfection is? This is your life. We will all have struggles, loss, grief in our lives, but there are people who care. Depression, anxiety, trauma touches everyone in some way. You deserve to be heard. I strive to listen, hear you, and work together to find your way back to your best life. There is always hope, sometimes you just need help to find it.
