What's My Approach to Therapy?

I am a board-certified psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioner with years of experience providing compassionate mental health care through telehealth. I work with adults and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), trauma, mood conditions, sleep difficulties, stress, and life transitions. I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, which is why I focus on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable, heard, and supported. I combine thoughtful medication management with trauma-informed, supportive care and clear education, so you feel confident and involved in your treatment. We will work together to create a personalized plan that fits your goals, lifestyle, and comfort level. Whether you’re feeling anxious, burned out, or simply ready for support, I’m here to help you take that first step toward feeling better.
