You may be feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, obsessive thoughts, or other challenges—and wondering if medication could help. Maybe you’ve tried therapy but still feel stuck, or you’ve already tried multiple medications without the results you need. Either way, you want more than a quick fix: you want real relief, clarity, and a plan that truly addresses what’s going on. Many people who come to me are looking for thoughtful, open, and collaborative care. They’re ready to feel better, regain stability, and move toward living more fully—without feeling rushed, dismissed, or judged along the way.
I’m a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in thoughtful, personalized medication management for adults. I integrate therapy approaches into medication visits, so care feels more collaborative and effective. My expertise includes depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and complex medical concerns.
I welcome adults from all walks of life. While I have specialized expertise in LGBTQ+ mental health, the same affirming, respectful approach guides how I work with everyone. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel understood and can make meaningful progress toward your goals. Reach out today for a free consultation.
