Hello, I specialize in treating individuals ages 6-17 (I see some young adults as well between ages 18-21) that may be experiencing challenging life circumstances through the diagnosis and treatment of various psychiatric diagnoses including ADHD, Autism, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and job/school stress. I always look to establish a comfortable and compassionate relationship with my patients. I am confident that I can provide empathy and support, and offer various treatment approaches to overcome one's challenges.

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

During our first encounter, we will discuss your child/adolescents personal, family, and medical history as well as review documents from other providers or sources if available. We will then decide upon a treatment plan that is individualized, comprehensive, and evidence based. I aim to help your child to achieve their personal goals through positive coping techniques and medication management if desired. I may ask you to complete assessment tools like “GAD7, PHQ9 etc. and may occasionally refer you to other caregivers, including therapists, medical specialists, and others as needed for your positive outcomes. Please notes that an in-person visit is REQUIRED for an initial evaluation for ADHD and every 23 months after. Also, I am unable to prescribe controlled substances for the treatment of anxiety disorders (ex. Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin).

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

I am 100% dedicated to the delivery of quality care to my patients. I believe in working closely with clients in helping them to achieve an optimal level of health and wellness. I have a passion for working with young people and their families as growing up and parenting can present many twists and turns.

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

I typically work with youth, ages 6-17 years of age.
