I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatrist who believes every person deserves care that’s as unique as they are. I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults from all walks of life, guiding them through a range of mental health challenges. Using evidence-based medication and tailored therapy approaches, I’m dedicated to offering compassionate, personalized support to help you thrive.
I specialize in treating pediatric and adult ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and supporting college-age youth and young professionals. I’m also passionate about reproductive psychiatry, helping you navigate the emotional challenges of premenstrual cycles, infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause with compassionate care.
I work closely with you and your family during challenging times to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique medical and mental health needs. Your goals are at the heart of our work together, and I’m committed to supporting you every step of the way on your path to recovery.
