The best of mental healthcare in one place. At Geode, we combine full-spectrum psychiatry and talk therapy to better meet changing patient needs.

As a board-certified physician assistant with a certificate of added qualifications in psychiatry, my focus is on providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management tailored to each individual’s needs. I specialize in treating ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of additional mental health concerns. I particularly enjoy working with young adults navigating major life transitions and adjustment into early adulthood, helping them build resilience and confidence. My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and evidence based. I believe treatment works best when it is individualized, with patients playing an active role in shared decision-making. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I aim to help clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with the tools they need to improve their overall mental health and well-being.
