Having witnessed the effects of mental illness within my own family, I approach my work with empathy, insight, and a strong commitment to helping patients feel supported throughout their journey.

I foster an inclusive, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel safe to be themselves. I approach care with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person's unique story, aiming to help individuals feel genuinely heard and supported throughout their treatment journey. In early sessions, I work collaboratively to understand patients' lives, goals, and challenges. While my focus is medication management, I integrate cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and supportive techniques. I may recommend additional therapy as needed and particularly value working with youth and adults from diverse backgrounds.

I am board-certified in both adult and child & adolescent psychiatry. Originally from California, I earned my medical degree from University College Cork in Ireland and completed residency and fellowship at Emory University. I have practiced in varied settings, including developing specialized clinics in eating disorders and gender-affirming care. I am a member of several professional organizations including AACAP, APA, and WPATH.

I believe it is a privilege to be part of my patients' healing journey. I foster authentic, therapeutic relationships in a supportive, judgment-free space that encourages open, honest communication. My collaborative style integrates motivational interviewing, supportive psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioral strategies, all while providing evidence-based, patient-centered care that may include medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes. In the initial session, I focus on understanding each patient's history, concerns, and personal goals. I create individualized treatment plans that align with those goals and emphasize education to help patients better understand their diagnoses. Through this approach, I empower individuals to actively participate in their care and take meaningful steps toward recovery.

I earned my medical degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville and completed general psychiatry residency and an addiction psychiatry fellowship at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. I also hold undergraduate and master's degrees in biomedical engineering. I have experience in telepsychiatry, inpatient, outpatient, and interventional psychiatry settings, with expertise in treating mood, anxiety, trauma-related, attention, and substance use disorders, as well as women's behavioral health and veteran populations.

I work collaboratively with patients, ensuring they feel heard, respected, and informed. I emphasize psychoeducation to empower patients in their treatment journey and encourage open communication to build trust and partnership. I treat a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD, in both children and adults. An initial assessment with me includes a thorough review of personal and medical history, identification of concerns, and the development of treatment goals. I often integrate supportive therapy with medication management to provide individualized, effective care that promotes both symptom relief and long-term well-being.

I completed my medical degree and adult psychiatry residency at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, followed by fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry at Harvard Medical School's Cambridge Hospital. I am double board-certified in general psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry. My career has included roles in inpatient and outpatient care, academic settings, consulting, and telepsychiatry across multiple states.

I start by explaining my overall approach to medication management and my goal of helping my patients live a better life free of disability. I conduct a detailed evaluation of your concerns, your experiences, and your priorities in treatment, and I develop a unique treatment plan based on your unique needs. I emphasize positive developments over the course of our work together and make sure you always have a chance to discuss any questions or concerns you want me to know and answer. I highly value my patients trusting me to listen and respect them, as well as in my clinical skills. I work hard at helping my patients understand my approach to treatment, and what is happening along the way and why. I may be the medical expert, but my patients and I are partners working together in the process of achieving better health and functionality so they can live their best lives.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with over ten years of experience in adult psychiatry, addiction medication, pregnancy and post-partum care, complex medical consultation, and military health. I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy as well as evidenced-based medication management, and I have extensive experience working with culturally diverse populations.

I am an Army veteran who deployed to Korea and Afghanistan. Patients often describe me as caring, providing clear explanations, and responsive to concerns.
