I work with adults, adolescents, and couples who want clarity, steadiness, and meaningful progress, to be held and witnessed in their healing by a guiding presence. As care has become increasingly quick, impersonal, and interchangeable, my patients seek something more substantive: a doctor and healer grounded in modern medicine and psychological depth. I offer nuanced assessment, careful listening, and tailored guidance that help clients regain hopeand move through life with greater alignment and capacity.
I help adults and teens experiencing mood or anxiety symptoms, burnout, hormone or metabolic shifts, and ADHD or cognitive challenges. My approach blends precise medication and hormone treatments with a strong psychotherapeutic foundation and health-optimization strategies to enhance clarity and stability.
If you’re looking for a space where you can speak openly and receive attentive, physician-level guidance, I invite you to reach out. You deserve care that is calm, thoughtful, and grounded in expertise. We’ll work together to create clarity, stability, and a path that genuinely supports your well-being.

I'm a depth psychotherapist. I think we all need to look at behaviors and be accountable and take care of our bodies as the foundation to a healthy mind, but the health of the mind happens in a healthy body
