Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, or symptoms you would like to speak to a mental health provider about? I help clients by getting a thorough understanding of their needs by way of an initial psychiatric evaluation and timely follow-ups. I strive to educate you on ways to manage your symptoms with a holistic approach that may involve medication, supplements, and exercise. I am here to help you along your journey to optimal mental health. Mental health is important because it affects every part of our life; the way we think, handle stress, relate to others, and solve problems. I strongly believe mental illness matters just as much as any other condition, hence my desire to dedicate my career to helping treat it. I strongly believe in therapeutic alliances. My goal is to be your mouthpiece and advocate for your wellbeing. You deserve a safe place to talk about and coordinate a treatment plan that will help you heal and grow. I will meet you with compassion and evidence-based practice so that your symptoms can be safely managed. Let’s do this together!


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

After the first session you can expect me to prescribe if needed and send any medication prescribed to your pharmacy with directions and a referral to therapy if one is recommended. After the first visit I would like to follow up in 2 weeks or sooner if symptoms warrant it.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Psychopharmacological medication management and scales to get a baseline of your symptoms.

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

My biggest strength is compassion and understanding.
