I begin by gaining a thorough understanding of each patient's psychiatric history, medical background, current concerns, and personal goals. I develop individualized treatment plans that may include medication, supportive counseling, and practical coping tools. My integrative approach also considers medical conditions, lab values, and vitamin levels. I meet with patients regularly to monitor progress and adjust treatment to best support their evolving needs.

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where patients and families can openly share concerns. I partner with them to select evidence-based treatments that best address their symptoms and goals. I begin with a thorough discussion of strengths, stressors, and biological and social factors to determine safety and level of care. Together, we develop a plan that may include medication, therapy, or referrals, with testing as indicated. Follow-ups include symptom review, plan adjustments, and attention to sleep, exercise, nutrition, hydration, and basic needs.

I earned a BS, Summa Cum Laude, from Tuskegee University and an MD from University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.

Augusta Military Medical Center, expanding key programs and mentoring staff and trainees. I retired as a CAPTAIN (O6) in 2026 with over 20 years of practice.

I offer comfortable, efficient virtual visits that respect patients' time while remaining personal and thorough. I prioritize continuity of care so patients feel supported between visits, not just during them. I emphasize collaboration, viewing patients as active partners in their treatment, and have particular expertise in supporting young professionals, students, and those navigating life transitions. I develop thoughtful, individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs, combining evidence-based medication management with a holistic understanding of each person's life, stressors, and goals. My approach fosters a judgment-free, affirming space where patients can speak openly and feel heard.

I am passionate about caring for adults, children, and families. I believe compassionate, evidence-based, multidisciplinary care is essential to healing.

I take a patient-centered approach, ensuring each individual feels heard, respected, and understood. I foster a warm and supportive environment focused on collaboration and progress, and my care is centered on helping patients move toward their personal goals with clarity and confidence.

My expertise includes trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and adult ADHD, and I provide culturally responsive, affirming care grounded in psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral principles.

I begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand each patient's symptoms within their life context.
