I provide holistic care and I see you as whole person. I want to get to know YOU, learn what is most important to you, and help you feel better.

Hi there, 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 with time. I am a holistic board-certified psychiatrist and therapist who specializes in helping adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, ecological and spiritual distress find inner peace. I combine holistic approaches such as creativity and spirituality with traditional modalities such as psychotherapy and medications, when needed. I’m proud of you for taking the first steps on your journey of healing and I would be honored to humbly walk alongside you on the journey integrating the wisdom of your mind, body and soul for transformation. This is a big deal! It takes lots of courage and strength AND you are doing it! You are on your way to living a deeply meaningful and fulfilling life. Psychiatry translates to 'healing of the soul.' My unique style centers around you as a whole-person. I am committed to guiding you in discovering your purpose, gaining insights, and reaching your goals. Feel free to learn more about my practice on my website.
