If psychiatric symptoms are causing you pain and limiting your life, I want to help. I treat adult patients (ages 18+) and specialize in creatives, Sexual and Gender Minority/LGBTQIA+ Mental Health, College Mental Health, emerging adult and older adult populations, trauma/PTSD, as well as anxiety (panic, OCD, social anxiety, phobias), mood (depression and bipolar disorders), sleep disorders, and ADHD. My goal is to empower my patients by offering compassionate, affirming, and personalized care tailored to each individual's unique experiences and aspirations. I offer my patients kind, affirming, personalized care. My goal is to support you by taking the time to understand you, your strengths and challenges, so that you can make informed decisions about the direction of your life, in your time, at your pace.
