New to Grow
I am a Dual-Certified Mental Health & Family Medicine Provider with a deep commitment to enhancing mental wellness for individuals of all ages. With extensive experience treating children, adults, and geriatric populations, I specialize in managing a wide range of conditions, including ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, Eating Disorders, Personality Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and more. My professional background includes working within Criminal Justice, the Department of Children & Families, Group Homes, and Substance Use & Addiction Treatment. As a Certified Addiction Provider with over 10 years of experience, I have successfully treated patients with Suboxone, Sublocade, and Vivitrol, offering structured, compassionate care tailored to individual needs. My focus is on equipping clients with self-motivating tools to navigate daily life with confidence. With a mission to provide first-class mental health care, I aim to help individuals reach their full potential and experience a balanced, fulfilling life. Good mental health hygiene and wellness make achieving personal goals a reality.
The first session will include a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. This meeting will take approximately 60 minutes, and we will discuss the things you have been feeling and experiencing most acutely as well as some important information about your past experiences. This information is important to help me understand who you are, what is driving your symptoms, and how we can work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
I have experience working in private outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, forensic settings, group homes, and community mental health agencies. I have met and worked with people from a variety of backgrounds, and I love to learn from and collaborate with my patients. My approach is to integrate what I know about the medical model of psychiatry with the art of therapeutic connection to treat my patients holistically.

Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is used to elicit information from the patient to better understand the patient's chief complaint, to make accurate diagnoses, and to select the appropriate medication to address the patient's symptoms.
