Accepting same-week initial appointments. My ideal clients are adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or misunderstood despite past treatment or their own attempts to improve their well-being. Many struggle with ADHD, mood or anxiety disorders, substance use, or long-standing patterns that affect relationships and function. Together, we focus on thoughtful medication management, education, and strategies that support lasting change and greater self-understanding.
I have 6 years of experience in treating ADHD, mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, and complex presentations that don’t fit neatly into one diagnosis. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with clear, bite-sized education about how the brain works, so patients understand why symptoms show up and how treatment helps.
If you're new to treatment or are currently engaged in treatment but feeling stuck or misunderstood, you are not alone. I encourage you to contact me via email, phone call, or text message to see how I could be of service to you. If we are not a good fit, I'd be happy to provide contacts for clinicians who may be better suited for your needs!
