Specialties
I specialize in psychiatric mental health care with a strong focus on identifying and treating the root causes of symptoms, not just managing them. My areas of expertise include anxiety disorders, depression, trauma-related conditions, mood instability, and postpartum mental health. I have a particular passion for helping individuals uncover underlying contributors such as unresolved trauma, chronic stress, lifestyle factors, and biological imbalances. While I do provide thoughtful medication management when needed, my ultimate goal is to help patients heal to a place where they no longer need to rely on medication for stability.

Populations Served
I serve children (ages 6–17), young adults, and women, with a special focus on pregnant and postpartum mothers. I am passionate about helping children and adolescents develop emotional regulation skills, confidence, and resilience early in life. I also support young adults navigating life transitions, relationships, and identity development. A central part of my work is with women who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or overwhelm during pregnancy and postpartum, offering compassionate, individualized care during this vulnerable season.

Therapeutic Approach
My approach is holistic, integrative, and deeply rooted in the belief that true healing comes from addressing the whole person. I utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), while also incorporating trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle interventions (including sleep, nutrition, and stress management). As a Christian, I welcome the integration of faith into the therapeutic process for those who desire it, recognizing the importance of spiritual health in overall well-being.

I believe medication can be a helpful tool in certain seasons, but it is not the end goal. My aim is to walk alongside each patient in uncovering the why behind their symptoms, empowering them with the tools, insight, and healing needed to experience lasting freedom and, when appropriate, reduce or discontinue reliance on medication.
