I have experience practicing in outpatient clinics, including virtual settings. I earned my medical degree from Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency at HCA Florida JFK North Hospital. I am board certified in Psychiatry.

I believe every patient has an individual story and background that deserves to be understood. I prioritize listening to your concerns and fostering a safe, comfortable space where you can feel heard and open about what you are experiencing.

I begin by thoroughly reviewing your history, symptoms, concerns, and goals during our initial session. From there, I collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan focused on your mental health needs and goals. Because everyone's needs can change, treatment plans remain dynamic, and I can adjust our approach based on your response and progress.

I want to understand what is bothering you, how it affects your life, and what you would like to change. I value continuity of care and believe treatment should realistically fit your life.

I begin with a detailed evaluation of your concerns, history, previous treatments, and how symptoms affect daily functioning. We discuss my impressions and treatment options, your preferences, and what you can realistically expect. At follow-ups, we consider what has improved, what remains difficult, and whether treatment is helping. Sometimes recovery involves more than medication changes, including reducing demands when symptoms or burnout affect functioning.

I am an adult outpatient psychiatrist with experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions. I earned my medical degree from the University of Massachusetts Medical School and completed my psychiatry residency at Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services in affiliation with Michigan State University. I am board-certified in psychiatry and am committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care.

I begin by taking time to thoroughly understand each patient's history, concerns, and goals during the initial visit. From there, I work collaboratively with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan that aligns with their needs and supports long-term progress.

I value thoughtful, individualized care and approach psychiatry with curiosity, compassion, and respect for each patient's lived experience. Patients can expect a collaborative, supportive relationship built on trust and shared decision-making. I believe that high-quality psychiatric care starts with listening and understanding each patient's goals and concerns. I emphasize transparency, patient education, and tailoring treatment plans to meet individual needs.

I am a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) and am double board-certified in adult and forensic psychiatry. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings and treat a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, mood, personality, and trauma-related disorders. I begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand symptoms, history, and priorities. For many patients, I find that combining medication management with talk therapy leads to the most effective outcomes, and I am experienced in providing both. I currently provide virtual care to adult patients in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.

I believe effective treatment begins with understanding a patient's life experiences and perspective. I take time to explore how patients see their challenges and what is or is not working for them. While medication can be an important tool, I do not focus on medication alone and value open discussion about its benefits and concerns. I prioritize understanding how patients are functioning across all areas of life and strongly value a collaborative approach, viewing treatment as a partnership built on shared decision-making. I begin with a thorough evaluation that includes medical and family history, ensuring that underlying medical issues are not overlooked. The first visit is also an opportunity to build rapport and help patients feel comfortable. Together, my patients and I develop a treatment plan aligned with their goals. I recognize that goals evolve over time and work collaboratively to adjust treatment as part of the ongoing growth process.

I grew up in Kentucky and have trained and practiced in a wide range of clinical settings. My experience spans inpatient and outpatient care, community mental health, state hospitals, addiction clinics, VA hospitals, and academic medicine. I became board certified in addiction medicine in 2019, deepening my understanding of how addiction affects individuals and families. I have also worked extensively with patients experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, including both military- and civilian-related trauma. My diverse background allows me to appreciate the complex personal, social, and medical factors that influence mental health.

I take a multimodal approach to mental health care, integrating medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and integrative methods. I value personal connection and believe that understanding each patient's story is central to effective treatment. My goal is to support patients in improving their quality of life in a collaborative and compassionate environment. I spend the first several visits listening closely to understand each patient's concerns, goals, and experiences, then partner with patients to develop a personalized treatment plan. Ongoing visits are tailored to each individual's needs and may evolve as treatment progresses.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist. I earned my medical degree and completed my general psychiatry residency at the University of Michigan, followed by a fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy through the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute. Prior to psychiatry, I was a board-certified anesthesiologist and completed my anesthesia residency at UCLA and an obstetric anesthesia fellowship at Mass General Brigham.

I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach to care and value open communication and shared decision-making. I integrate supportive psychotherapy with evidence-based medication management as part of a comprehensive treatment approach. In initial sessions, I focus on gaining a thorough understanding of each patient's history, symptoms, and goals. I work with patients to develop individualized treatment plans and provide ongoing medication management with regular reassessment as needs and goals evolve.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist at Talkiatry with experience treating a wide range of psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, and substance use disorders in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
