I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, panic, PTSD, depression, ADHD, OCD, tic disorders, and behavioral concerns. I'm a Hopkins-trained Psychiatrist with over 15yrs of clinical experience with additional training in child and adolescent psychiatry. I provide high-quality, evidence-based treatment to help address your current needs. Treatment may include therapy, medication, lifestyle modifications, or a combination of options. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for you and your family to learn, to grow, and to make positive changes.
As a parent myself, I realize life can be challenging so I also provide therapeutic coaching to parents who may need additional support or parenting guidance. My approach is centered on understanding each client's unique experiences and working collaboratively to develop personalized treatment plans.

Therapy will be based on the patient and family needs. I provide individual therapy work as well as parenting skills sessions to assist in improving the parent-child relationship. Some teenagers prefer speaking with someone other than their parents about peer struggles or self-esteem concerns. We can address these concerns and help them learn coping skills to improve their relationships.
