I offer personalized mental health treatment and utilize an integrative and evidence-based approach for the treatment of mental health and addiction conditions. I am double board-certified in Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. I focus on building long-lasting changes and resiliency so you can achieve a balanced and fulfilling life. I bring a cautious and conservative approach to medication while considering all aspects of your health in treatment planning. I am therapeutically-oriented, and see Adults.
I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD, mood and anxiety disorders, maternal health, addiction, and can provide expert care for many other mental health and addiction use disorders. I incorporate prescription medications, lifestyle changes, therapy, and mind-body medicine into a complete treatment plan. We also have TMS, Spravato, and wellness services.
I provide a warm, empathic, and active therapy style to help ease you into treatment while working with you to achieve your goals. I believe in educating my patients at every session to help guide treatment decisions and to maximize the benefits of our work together. I invite you to visit my website to explore my practice philosophy and to book a consult.
