I have nearly a decade of experience working with a variety of individuals with many backgrounds. I emphasize the importance of a trauma-informed and supportive approach. I have expertise in treating a number of diagnoses, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and trauma. I offer a number of modalities, including CBT, MI, DBT, EMDR and IFS.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and have been practicing psychiatry since 2017. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, including professionals, students, parents, women, men, and LGBTQ+ clients, who may be navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma/PTSD, insomnia, OCD, perinatal mental health, stress, or major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, telehealth, and second opinions, with a focus on helping you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work toward meaningful change.

Everyone thinks you’ve got it together. You’re capable, responsible, and the person everyone counts on. But inside? Your mind won’t shut off. You overthink conversations, second-guess decisions, say yes when you mean no, and put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Maybe you’re exhausted from trying to do everything “right” while quietly wondering, “Why can’t I just relax?” If anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or burnout are running the show, you’re not alone- and you don’t have to keep living this way.

I’ve supported first-generation, queer, polyamorous, & immigrant adults in navigating addictive behaviors, traumatic experiences, attachment injury, and grief—experiences that can disrupt one’s ability to engage with life & relationships more fully.
