Compassionate care for ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and perinatal mental health. Therapy and medication tailored to your needs.
Struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or perinatal mood disorders? Finding the right support matters.

Whether you're navigating academic pressure, perinatal challenges, or spiritual questions, I tailor care to fit your unique needs. With experience in therapy and medication management, I provide evidence-based treatment for ADHD and other conditions, combining psychopharmacology expertise with behavioral therapy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to tackle obstacles and embrace growth. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and develop strategies that work for your life.
