Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
With extensive experience in treating major depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis and PTSD, I prioritize a holistic approach that considers your whole self, your vulnerabilities and your strengths.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
will be nonjudgmental and embrace your experiences and uniqueness. Collaboratively, we create a tailored plan that speaks to you. In return, I hope for honesty and communication.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
I love going on hikes with my cat, Leia and my dog, Riley.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
Mental health is very underserved and underresourced, yet crucial for overall well-being. Witnessing patients regain stability and happiness, and thrive is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.
