I have worked in a wide range of settings including inpatient hospitals, residential treatment centers, partial and intensive outpatient programs, correctional psychiatry, and substance abuse treatment. My clinical experience spans various conditions such as ADHD, eating disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, PTSD, and treatment-resistant depression.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children, traveling, decorating, and watching reality TV.

My primary clinical focus is on children, adolescents, and young adults dealing with trauma and co-occurring mental health disorders. My approach centers on providing medication management in conjunction with supportive therapy, typically through 30-minute follow-up visits. In cases where additional therapeutic intervention is needed, I may suggest involving a therapist as part of a comprehensive care team to ensure the best possible outcomes. I am committed to a collaborative, evidence-based approach to treatment, emphasizing individualized care and a holistic understanding of each patient's unique needs.

I am a Board-Certified General Psychiatrist and Board-Eligible Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, licensed to practice in New York, Illinois, and Arkansas. I earned my medical degree from LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, and completed my psychiatry residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). I went on to complete a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at UAMS, where I also participated in the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) Program, specializing in neurodevelopmental disorders. With experience at Burrell Behavioral Health, Arkansas Children's Hospital, and UAMS, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice. While I have treated a wide variety of psychiatric conditions, my work has been shaped by these clinical settings and the breadth of patients I have served across them.

I am an adult psychiatrist with a clinical approach emphasizing the intersection of medication-based treatment and talk therapy. I am committed to understanding each patient as a whole, taking into account the interplay of psychological, social, and biological factors that shape a person's mental health. I have particular areas of interest in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

I earned my medical degree from Saint Louis University School of Medicine, after which I completed my psychiatry residency training at Loyola University Medical Center. During my training, I gained experience across a wide range of mental health settings, including community mental health centers and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and worked at various levels of care, from inpatient units to partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, as well as outpatient clinics. I have cultivated a robust skill set in psychotherapy techniques, including psychodynamic therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, supportive therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches, which I integrate alongside evidence-based medication management.

My practice is influenced by my training and research in political and medical anthropology, psychoanalysis, and social psychiatry. I view mental health as inseparable from history, culture, and social context, not just neurobiology. My approach ensures patients time to elaborate how their life history shapes their experiences and goals. In a healthcare system that often relies on generic diagnoses and standardized plans, I work with each patient on their own terms, integrating psychotherapy and potential medications to support the pursuit of their unique life possibilities.

I often work with writers, actors, musicians, and visual artists and with journalists, academics, athletes, healthcare workers, and activists, many of whom seek treatment in response to creative blocks, burnout, and relationship struggles. I also have long-term experience working with people who have lived through incarceration, war, torture, migration, childhood abuse, and psychosis, and with those building queer and trans identities and communities.

To facilitate durable changes, I regard psychiatric symptoms as matters to be taken seriously, understood, and worked through, not simply suppressed by medications. I ask patients to actively engage in treatment and often recommend frequent appointments to support this.

I am a firm believer in meeting people at their own pace to accomplish their objectives at their own speed. My initial appointment is an assessment, gathering the client's background information and reason for seeking treatment, focusing on the client's own specific goals and desires for therapy, and helping the client envision what this would look like for them in order to establish a general roadmap toward their aspirations. After the first session, I concentrate on what complications exist to the client's objectives and how the client can utilize supportive tools and resources to help overcome these barriers. I then help clients establish weekly, smaller goals that can lead them to their larger-scale aspirations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been in the field for approximately 20 years performing individual, group, and family service. During my education, I focused on various forms of treatment modalities including DBT, ACT, CBT, trauma-informed, family systems, motivational interviewing, and substance abuse treatment. I have been an active remote mental health therapist for the past several years, and have experience working with diverse populations providing services to adults and children in mixed settings. I have an extensive background working with survivors of trauma, depression/bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, grief, PTSD, schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis, gender/sexual identity difficulties, eating disorders, substance abuse, domestic violence, life transitions, as well as combinations of multiple problems.
