Welcome! You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes, and searching for real solutions. My clients want more than symptom relief, they seek lasting balance, healing, and a deeper sense of well-being. I offer a holistic approach to mental health, combining conventional medicine, nutrition, and complementary care. Through medication management, personalized labs, genetic testing, and lifestyle coaching, we’ll work together to nurture and heal your mind, body, and soul.
I’m passionate about helping individuals heal and thrive through compassionate, holistic mental health care. With years of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting those facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach blends conventional treatments with nutrition, lifestyle coaching, and complementary care.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling with sadness, or having difficulty sleeping? Do painful memories or recurring nightmares keep you from living the life you want? These challenges can affect your work, school, self-esteem, and goals, but you don’t have to face them alone. I’m here to listen, support, and guide you toward healing. Reach out today!
