I specialize in treating ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar disorder and other complex mental disorders. I have the experience it takes to provide you with quality care.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is usually 40-60minutes long over video. Patient will enjoy the convenience of tele-psychiatry. New patient will receive a link they can click on from their smartphone, iPad or desktop during the time of the appointment to see your provider on screen. I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in treatment. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together to create the right treatment plan to make these goals a reality for you.

I’ll be here to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way. I am devoted to my patients' physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being and believes that everyone can achieve their greatest potential. Medication management, genetic testing, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and other services are available.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As a mental health provider, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist patient identify any negative thought patterns and switch them with a more positive thoughts by breaking them down into smaller parts and teaching them practical strategies to change their behaviors.

Christian Counseling

I use christian counseling because combining psychology and religion addresses both mind, body, and spirit. This way of treatment also helps patients learn coping skills to help them adjust to life changes.
