Hi and congratulations on taking the first step in becoming a healthier you! If you are looking for a warm, engaging and experienced therapist, I may be your fit. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice since 2005 and I love helping! My background is diverse, including but not limited to treating depression, anxiety, panic, PTSD, OCD, relationship issues, communication issues, and life changes, to name a few. Please schedule a Fridays only 15-minute call & we can go from there.

I am a psychiatrist trained in adult psychiatry, though I do have some experience working in adolescent and geriatric psychiatry as well. I try to integrate western medicine approaches to care with more holistic approaches, which often includes providing psychotherapy, medications, and lifestyle modification. I have specific interest in different psychotherapy modalities, and often incorporate some aspects of psychotherapy in my visits with clients even if this is not the primary focus. In my work, I like to focus on your strengths, goals, and values as the main components of our treatment plan. I try to bring a curious, open-minded, and compassionate energy to my work.

I help highly sensitive persons navigate the stressors and challenges in the world to find their authentic self and a life worth embracing. Do you think deeply about the world, yourself, and those around you? Do you experience a profound sense of empathy, feeling more deeply than most people around you? Do you find challenges in communicating your inner most thoughts and feelings with others? Do feel lost and want to find a way to get back on track? I am here to guide you on your journey.
