My intake appointments are designed to help patients feel heard, understood, and comfortable. We will review your current concerns, past mental health and medical history, lifestyle factors, and treatment preferences while creating a personalized plan that may include medication management and supportive psychotherapy.

Patients often describe treatment with me as supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. Many value the educational approach to care, including clear explanations of treatment options and their effectiveness. Patients also frequently report improved self-awareness, greater insight into their emotional patterns, and increased confidence in managing mental health challenges and life stressors. Patients often share that what sets my approach apart is my desire to understand the whole person before recommending or adjusting medications. Many patients appreciate this collaborative and thoughtful approach, feeling heard, understood, and supported in developing a treatment plan that reflects their individual needs and goals.

Personal Interests

I love animals, and my golden retriever, Jet, is easily the goofiest member of my family and always brightens my day. I really enjoy cuisine, whether that’s cooking at home or trying new restaurants. As an only child, I value my alone time just as much as I enjoy being around others, and I appreciate having that balance in my life.
