Hi there! I provide psychiatric therapy and medication management. I have years of experience managing complex patients as part of a treatment team while working in acute psychiatric units and hospital settings in Hampton Roads, VA and Florida. I treat ages 6 and older and treat a wide range of psychiatric disorders including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, and addiction. I have special interest in treatment resistant depression and innovative treatments for such, including Spravato and ketamine.

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

In our initial session, I will obtain your personal history and the challenges you're presently facing. Together, we'll craft a personalized treatment plan to your unique needs to get you feeling better, sooner.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I approach each individual with an open mind, recognizing the complexity of human experiences. I stay up-to-date with the latest research and therapeutic modalities to provide the highest standard of care.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I treat clients age 6 and older.
