Finding the right mental health care can be an important first step toward feeling more like yourself again. As a psychiatric physician associate and psychotherapist, I provide compassionate, personalized care to adults navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mental health concerns.
My approach is collaborative and individualized. I take the time to understand not only your symptoms, but also your experiences, goals, and what matters most to you. I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis, and medication management, while integrating psychotherapy when appropriate. I believe the best care looks at the whole person — not just a diagnosis—and that thoughtful medication management and therapy can work together to support lasting change.
Together, we will develop a treatment plan designed around your unique needs and goals. My aim is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help you improve your emotional well-being, strengthen your ability to navigate life’s challenges, and achieve a greater sense of balance and quality of life.
