Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Lacey, WA

I believe the best mental health care begins with listening. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, behavioral concerns, and life stressors. My approach is collaborative and personalized, taking time to understand the whole person, not just their symptoms.

Together, we'll develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, which may include medication management, education, lifestyle recommendations, and brief supportive therapy during medication management visits. While I incorporate therapeutic techniques into our appointments to help you build coping skills and achieve your treatment goals, I do not provide ongoing individual psychotherapy. If more intensive or regular therapy would benefit you, I'm happy to coordinate care with your therapist or help connect you with one.

My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting progress.
