Many of the patients I have worked with have faced barriers preventing them from accessing consistent, high-quality mental health care. They may be dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or complex challenges—and they’re seeking a provider who will take time to understand their mental health. They want more than just symptom relief; they’re looking for a collaborative, whole-person approach that values their lived experience and helps them build a sustainable path to wellness.
I treat a wide range of conditions—including anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and women’s mood disorders—using evidence-based care, psychodynamic therapy, and personalized medication management tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Accessing mental health care shouldn’t feel out of reach. I offer a safe, respectful space where your experiences are valued and your care is personalized. Whether you’re new to treatment or returning, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I'm well-versed in distinguishing diagnoses from one another and incorporate a thorough workup in order to rule out physical contributions to presenting mood/thought disturbances. I do not rely solely on medications as interventions and will utilize different psychotherapy techniques with clients to help manage their symptoms.
