Managing all of life’s challenges can affect your overall well-being. Burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep? Seeking support is a brave step! My approach is collaborative, and I honor your autonomy while offering guidance and support along your path toward balance and healing. I create a welcoming, safe, and non-judgmental space where we address your whole-person needs. I provide evidence-based psychiatric care that integrates thoughtful prescribing with your values, preferences, and lived experiences.
My goal is to help you feel more grounded, focused, and empowered in daily life. Medication can be a powerful tool to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, and more. While there’s no “magic pill,” I work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs and lifestyle.
I support individuals, age 12 and over, from all backgrounds and life experiences. I provide LGBTQIA+-affirming care and lived experience from the ENM/polyamory community. My practice is inclusive of diverse identities, cultures and relationship structures. I will help you feel seen, understood, and respected throughout your care.
