About My Clients

I specialize in helping young adults, college students and adult professionals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, ecological and spiritual distress find inner peace. I understand that it’s probably taken a lot to get here: emotional pain, depression, anxiety, grief and maybe even existential crises. I want you to know that you are not alone and it does get better over time.

My Background and Approach

I have years of professional and personal training and expertise that can help you heal. I combine traditional modalities such as psychotherapy and medications, when needed with holistic approaches. I focus on purpose, creativity, spirituality, joyful movement, sleep and nutrition.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Soul Psychiatry is trauma-informed and inclusive to all. I practice culturally sensitivity and humility.
