My website
I treat students, professionals, and young parents navigating modern life. Whether it be ADHD, anxiety, depression, or pure burnout, we will actively tackle and address these issues using the most current and evidence-based psychiatric treatments available. Many patients come to me after feeling rushed in insurance-based systems. As an out-of-network provider, I prioritize the quality of our time, moving away from quick-fix checks toward meaningful, evidence-based care. If you are tired of superficial appointments, or psychiatrists who just nod along, and want a collaborative, human-centered approach, we may be a fit.
I provide discreet, compassionate psychiatric care for professionals and students. Specializing in ADHD, anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, and more, my approach integrates thoughtful medication management with intentional treatment planning, in addition to thoughtful and careful diagnostic evaluations.
Reaching out for mental health treatment is a difficult and humbling experience, especially for the first time. You may be concerned about being judged or mistreated. If you are finally ready to take control of your mental well-being, then please reach out, and let's get to work. Check out the blog on my website for informative posts about mental health.

I do not contract directly with any insurance companies, but I can provide you with a 'Superbill' for out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients get over half of the appointment cost covered by their commercial insurance. Payment is due at the time of each appointment.

I use a blend of therapy techniques rather than adhering to one specific style of therapy. For patients, this can look like a more targeted approach (such as tackling a specific problem) or a more "traditional" open-ended type of therapy.
