About Me

A calm, thoughtful approach to psychiatric care.

I offer psychiatric care that balances clinical expertise with steadiness, warmth, and respect for each person’s experience.

I offer thoughtful psychiatric care that balances clinical expertise with warmth, steadiness, and respect for each person’s lived experience. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based treatment, with space for reflection, insight, and practical support.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and mood concerns. Whether you are seeking medication support, psychotherapy, or a more integrated approach, I aim to make the process feel clear, manageable, and deeply human.

My Approach

I draw from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and somatic frameworks to help patients understand patterns, build resilience, and make meaningful changes. I strive to be direct when needed, careful with pacing, and collaborative in decisions about treatment. The goal is to make care feel thoughtful, manageable, and grounded in what matters most to you.
