About My Clients

My ideal client is someone who, despite their struggles, holds onto a glimmer of hope that things can get better. You are ready to work with a compassionate professional who can help you understand the "why" behind your feelings and develop a plan to find your way back to yourself. If you are looking for more than just a quick fix—if you are seeking lasting change and a provider who will support you holistically—then we may be a great fit!

My Background and Approach

I am passionate about providing a validating space and developing evidence-based treatment plans that foster lasting wellness. I believe in shared decision-making and will ensure you are informed and comfortable with your treatment plan. My prescribing philosophy centers on using the safest, most effective, and evidence-based options to support your long-term mental health. I prioritize non-habit-forming medications that work alongside therapy to build sustainable wellness. This approach is rooted in developing coping skills and wellness strategies that empower you for a lifetime.
