I'm a psychiatrist, and I treat adults living with ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD and the aftermath of trauma, substance use, and postpartum depression. Much of my outpatient background comes from my years in the Air Force, where I served as Medical Director of a mental health clinic and Program Manager for a substance abuse program. That work taught me to look at the whole person, the biological, the psychological, and the social all at once, rather than treating a symptom in isolation.

Before I recommend anything, I want to understand where you've been. I start with a comprehensive history, including early life experiences, because I've found that context shapes the plan far more than a checklist ever could. From there, we build something individualized to you rather than a template I apply to everyone. Medication may be part of that, but it's one tool among several, and I'll always explain my thinking so decisions feel like ours, not mine handed down to you.

My pace is unhurried and my approach is collaborative. I want you to feel genuinely heard and respected in the room, and I'll be honest with you about what I see, even when it's complicated. If you're worn down by anxiety, still sorting through trauma, or navigating the early months after childbirth and feeling unlike yourself, you don't have to keep managing it on your own. Reach out, and let's figure out the next step together.

I've spent years as a psychiatrist treating adults living with a wide range of concerns: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, and the lingering weight of trauma. Much of my career has been in outpatient adult psychiatry, along with time spent working a crisis hotline and helping run complex care settings. That background shaped how I see people. I've worked extensively with immigrants, refugees, veterans, and folks who've been without housing, and I've learned that understanding someone's context matters as much as understanding their symptoms. I also offer care in Urdu and Hindi when that helps someone feel more understood.

My training includes a psychoanalytic fellowship, which means I tend to listen for the fuller picture rather than just cataloging what's wrong. I run thorough, organized visits that look at both your psychiatric and medical concerns, and I put real value on clear communication, so you'll know what I'm thinking and why. I care about inclusivity, and I approach treatment as something we sort out together, drawing on whatever community resources and support might actually be useful to you. Medication is one part of that conversation, never the whole of it.

Deciding to talk to someone about your mental health takes some nerve, and getting this far says something about where you are. When you're ready to start that conversation, I'll be glad to sit down with you and figure out the next step together.

I'm a psychiatrist with a particular focus on ADHD, and I've spent more than a decade caring for both adults and younger patients, from children as young as five through adolescence. Alongside ADHD, I regularly treat depression, anxiety, and OCD. I trained in adult, child, and adolescent psychiatry, and I still teach as an assistant professor, which keeps me thinking carefully about how to explain things clearly rather than just prescribe them.

I try to treat the whole person, not a checklist of symptoms. With kids and teens especially, that means paying attention to how they actually feel in the room, because a young person who doesn't feel heard isn't going to tell you much. I start with a thorough conversation about your history, your concerns, and what you're hoping will change, and from there we build a plan that fits your life. That plan might combine medication with cognitive-behavioral techniques, but medication is one piece of it, never the whole answer. In follow-up visits I want us tracking real progress and adjusting as we go, with goals concrete enough that you can tell whether they're working.

I keep communication open and direct, because sustainable improvement tends to come from patients and families who understand what we're doing and why.

Deciding to look for help, or to find help for your child, takes real effort. If you've made it this far, you've already started. I'd be honored to take the next part of it with you.

I trained as a psychiatrist, and I mostly work with adults living with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and the aftereffects of trauma. My path shaped how I practice: after residency at Temple, I completed a community psychiatry fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, where I cared for people managing serious mental illness, and I've since worked with veterans at the Salem VA in Virginia and with patients at the University of Kentucky. That range taught me to take each person's history seriously and to avoid one-size-fits-all thinking.

I work collaboratively, and that isn't a slogan for me. Early on, I want to understand the full picture: your history, your strengths, and what you actually want out of treatment. From there we set shared goals and clear expectations together, and I revisit the plan with you as things change. A first appointment is mostly me asking questions and listening closely so I understand what brought you in and where you want to go.

Medication is one part of what I offer, alongside supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and practical strategies for managing stress. I lean on whichever of these fits the person in front of me, not a fixed formula. What matters most to me is that you feel heard and genuinely involved in your own care rather than talked at.

If that approach fits what you're after, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a psychiatrist who has spent years treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders, in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That range has taught me something practical: people don't come in wanting a lecture on their diagnosis. They want to feel better in a way that actually holds up in their daily life, and they want a straightforward conversation about how to get there.

My approach is direct and collaborative. I care about clear communication and realistic expectations, so I'll tell you what I'm thinking and why, and I want you to be able to speak openly about what is and isn't working. I start with a focused, comprehensive evaluation to understand your symptoms, your background, and what you're actually hoping to change. From there we build a personalized plan, which might include medication, brief therapy, and concrete daily strategies you can put to use right away. Follow-ups are efficient and goal-oriented; we check what's helping, adjust what isn't, and keep moving toward meaningful, long-term improvement rather than quick fixes.

I trained at the American University of Antigua College of Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency at Penn State Health, and I've carried that practical, no-nonsense sensibility into everything I do here.

Curious whether this kind of straightforward, goal-focused care is a fit for you?

I'm a psychiatrist with a particular focus on adults living with co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions, and I'm board-certified in both general and addiction psychiatry. My training took me a long way to get here: medical school and seven years of postgraduate residency in South Africa, then fellowship work in the U.S. across forensic, addiction, and child and adolescent psychiatry, along with years spent as a research faculty member and, more recently, a chief medical officer. That range means I've sat with a wide spectrum of concerns, from ADHD, anxiety, and depression to bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and the substance use that so often travels alongside them, including in uniformed personnel.

I practice from a bio-psycho-social view of care, which is my way of saying I want the whole picture before we settle on anything. Early on, I do a thorough evaluation, gather collateral information when it's useful, and use baseline rating scales so we have a real starting point to measure against over time. I value open communication and I ask for feedback directly, both what's working and what isn't, because that's what keeps a treatment plan honest. When it helps, I'm glad to involve family. Medication may be part of the plan, but it sits inside the larger effort, never in place of it.

Curious whether this approach fits what you're after? That first conversation is where we find out.

I'm a psychiatrist with more than a decade of outpatient experience, and I treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD and complex PTSD, bipolar disorder, and substance use in adults. Over the years I've worked with people at every stage of adulthood, including veterans and military families, and I've spent a lot of time alongside patients sorting through school or work stress, life transitions, relationships, and the ordinary strain of trying to balance too many responsibilities at once.

I start with a comprehensive evaluation, because I want to actually understand your symptoms, your history, and what you're hoping to get out of treatment before I say anything about a plan. That first conversation is mostly me asking questions and listening without judgment, so we can land on an accurate picture together rather than rushing to a label. From there I'm practical and fairly structured: I'll lay out the treatment options, tell you honestly what I think, and we decide together. Medication is one part of that when it makes sense, paired with therapeutic support shaped around what you actually need, not a standard protocol.

Open communication matters to me. I'd rather you feel heard and respected enough to tell me when something isn't working, so we can adjust. My aim is steady improvement in how you feel, how you function, and how your days go overall.

Reach out when you're ready to get started.

I'm a psychiatrist who focuses on adults navigating things like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD and trauma, and the ways these can weigh on daily life. I've spent over six years working with patients through telehealth, and before that I practiced across a range of outpatient settings, including partial care and intensive outpatient programs, along with time on inpatient and consultation-liaison units. That range has taught me that no two people arrive with the same story, so I try to understand each person's situation on its own terms.

We start with a thorough psychiatric assessment: I want to hear what's brought you in, what your symptoms actually feel like, your history, and what you're hoping to get out of treatment. From there, we build a plan together that reflects your goals rather than a generic protocol. I care a lot about trust and open communication, and I want you to feel comfortable saying what's really going on without worrying about being judged for it. When medication is part of the picture, it's one piece of a broader plan, not the whole answer.

My training took me from a post-baccalaureate program at Columbia to medical school at University College Cork in Ireland, and then to psychiatry residency at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson in New Jersey. Reach out when you're ready to talk through what's next.

I'm a psychiatrist, and most of what I see is people managing PTSD, self-harm, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and OCD, often after a few earlier attempts at treatment that didn't quite land. I'm board certified in both general and child and adolescent psychiatry, and I've worked across a range of settings over the years, from hospital consult work and inpatient units to outpatient care in the office and by video. That range shapes how I think: I want to understand the whole person in front of me, not just the symptom that brought them in.

I tend to be warm and direct at the same time. I start by getting a real sense of your history, what's happening now, and where you're hoping to go, and I pay close attention to what got in the way before so we don't repeat it. From there we build a plan together that might include medication and brief supportive therapy, always with your physical health in the picture, not just your mental health. I care about short-term relief, but I'm also thinking about the longer arc of your health, and I want your choices to drive that. As a parent myself, I especially connect with other caregivers trying to hold a lot together, and I try to make room for that.

Curious whether the two of us would work well together? That's exactly what a first visit is for.

I trained as a psychiatrist, and I mostly work with children, teens, and adults navigating OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and the aftermath of trauma, including the moments when things get frightening enough that self-harm enters the picture. I completed a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in partnership with BronxCare, where I still occasionally oversee fellows and their cases, and I'm double board certified in adult and child and adolescent psychiatry.

My thinking leans psychodynamic, which means I'm genuinely curious about the roots of a behavior pattern, how earlier experiences keep shaping how someone functions now, rather than only naming the symptom in front of us. I look at the whole person, so sleep, routines, and daily life belong in the conversation alongside the emotional side. The first visit is unhurried: I ask about what brought you in, then work through your medical, psychiatric, and psychosocial history (and developmental history, for my younger patients) so the picture is complete before we decide anything.

I'll tell you what I'm thinking openly, and I want your read on it too. Any plan we land on, medication included where it fits, should reflect your goals and your particular circumstances, not a template. I try to keep the room calm and the pace steady.

The first step is just a conversation, and we sort out the direction together from there.

I'm a psychiatrist, a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, board-certified in both adult and forensic psychiatry, with experience treating bipolar disorder, OCD, personality disorders, and PTSD across inpatient and outpatient settings. A lot of the adults I see are trying to make sense of symptoms that have shaped how they move through the world for a long time, and they want a psychiatrist who will take their history seriously rather than rush to a label. I especially connect with people from immigrant and refugee backgrounds, whose stories often carry context that gets missed in a hurried visit.

I approach this work with curiosity, compassion, and real respect for what you've lived through. I start with a comprehensive evaluation, so a first visit is less about a quick diagnosis and more about understanding your symptoms, your history, and what you actually want out of treatment. I value transparency and shared decision-making; I'll explain my thinking, answer your questions, and build a plan that fits you rather than a template. For many patients I find that pairing thoughtful medication management with talk therapy works best, and I offer both, but the direction we take is one we decide together.

I currently see adults virtually in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York. Not sure whether we'd be a good match? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

I'm a psychiatrist, and most of what I see is ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and the kinds of anxiety and depression that show up alongside them. I work with both children and adults, so a family might come to me with a school-aged kid who can't settle, or an adult who has spent years trying to make sense of moods that keep shifting. I trained in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Stony Brook, and my background in public mental health at Johns Hopkins shaped how I think about the social, cultural, and environmental pieces of a person's story, not just the symptoms in front of me.

I start with an unrushed evaluation. I want to understand your history, your concerns, and what you actually want out of treatment before I say much about a plan. From there we build something realistic and grounded in evidence, adjusting as your goals shift over time. Medication is one tool I use carefully, including deprescribing when that's the right call, but it's never the whole conversation. I try to stay curious and honest, and I especially connect with LGBTQIA+ patients, families of immigrant background, and parents navigating a child's care. I can also work in Gujarati and Hindi.

There's no deadline for beginning this. Reach out when the timing feels right for you, and we'll take it from there.

I'm a psychiatrist with a particular focus on OCD, PTSD and trauma, self-harm, and ADHD, and I'm double board-certified in both general adult and child and adolescent psychiatry. I trained at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and completed my fellowship at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and I spent nearly twelve years as a staff psychiatrist across outpatient, community, hospital, school-based, and emergency settings before joining Talkiatry.

I see children, adolescents, and adults, and I especially connect with parents and caregivers who are trying to hold a lot together while also caring for themselves. A good deal of my work has centered on how much the details of a person's story matter. I pay close attention to narrative, because I've found that deep self-understanding is often where meaningful progress starts. I want to know how you sleep, how you move, who's in your corner, and how your body and mind are talking to each other, not just which symptoms brought you in.

My first appointments are thorough. I'll ask a lot of questions and listen closely, and I try to be transparent about what I'm thinking so we can build the plan together. When medication makes sense, it's one part of a fuller picture that includes lifestyle, relationships, and the therapeutic work itself. I draw on supportive, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and family approaches, and I'll bring in specialized colleagues when that serves you.

There's no rush. Reach out whenever the timing feels right for you.

My work as a therapist centers on substance use disorders and the conditions that often travel alongside them: OCD, anxiety, and major depression. Over more than 23 years across outpatient, inpatient, and telehealth settings, I've spent a lot of time with people who are ready to change something but want more than encouragement. They want practical tools and a clear sense of whether those tools are actually working.

I tend to be structured. I start with a thorough assessment so we can name your goals plainly and build a treatment plan that fits them, then we track progress as we go rather than guessing at it. Much of what I do draws on evidence-based approaches like CBT, ERP for OCD, HRT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapies, and I'll often ask you to practice specific skills between sessions. Expect accountability from me; expect me to name what I'm seeing honestly, and to adjust when something isn't landing. When it helps, I coordinate with the other people involved in your care.

A typical session is focused work. We check in on what you tried since we last met, sort out what got in the way, and decide what to aim at next. I'm compassionate about the difficulty of that and direct about the effort it takes.

If this fits what you're after, I'm happy to talk.

I'm a therapist, and most of what I see spans a wide age range: teens finding their footing, adults sorting through anxiety, depression, trauma, or a life transition that has knocked things off balance, and older adults navigating change later in life. Over more than eight years across private practice, outpatient programs, community mental health centers, and non-profit work in New York and New Jersey, I've spent a lot of time with people who are reexamining their self-esteem, working through relationship strain, or trying to make sense of attention challenges. I also work often with neurodivergent clients and offer affirming care across identities, relationships, and family systems.

How we work together depends on you. I start by really understanding your history, your concerns, your strengths, and what you actually want out of this, then we shape a plan together from there. I draw on approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and IFS, but I try to keep therapy practical and paced to you rather than to a method. Early sessions tend to be a lot of me asking questions and listening closely so I understand what brought you here. As we go, I'll revisit our goals with you so the work stays relevant and responsive as things shift.

There's no rush to any of this. When you feel ready to begin, I'll be here.

I'm a psychiatrist with experience treating postpartum depression, ADHD, and OCD, along with bipolar disorder, depression, and other conditions that shape how someone moves through daily life. Some of the people I see are new parents trying to make sense of what they're feeling after a birth; others are adults who've spent years wondering why focus, mood, or intrusive thoughts have been harder to manage than they expected. I offer care in both English and Mandarin, and I have a particular affinity for patients navigating life between cultures or the demands of caregiving.

My path to psychiatry ran through anesthesiology; I practiced as a board-certified anesthesiologist before training in general psychiatry and completing a fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy. That background shapes how I work. I draw on medication when it's useful, but I also lean on psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and integrative methods, choosing among them based on what fits the person in front of me.

The first few visits are mostly me listening, getting to understand your concerns, your goals, and the story that brought you here. From there we build a plan together, and it can shift as we go. I try to be transparent about my thinking so decisions stay in your hands.

If any of this fits what you've been looking for, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a psychiatrist, and most of what I see is depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions, along with OCD, substance use concerns, and the harder-to-name struggles that don't fit neatly into one box. I've worked in both outpatient and telehealth settings, and I try to look at the whole picture rather than a single symptom: how you're sleeping, what your relationships feel like, any medical conditions in the mix, your culture, and the stressors weighing on any given week. Mental health rarely exists in isolation, and I don't treat it that way.

My style is collaborative and patient-centered. Before we settle on any plan, we start with a thorough evaluation so I actually understand your history, what's bringing you in now, and what you want to get out of this. From there we set clear goals and choose treatments that fit your values, which might mean medication alongside supportive therapy, CBT, or motivational interviewing. Our follow-up visits are for checking progress, sorting out side effects, and adjusting as we go. I care a lot about open dialogue and keeping you informed, because I think that's what makes care both safe and durable over the long haul.

I aim for a respectful, affirming space where you can speak honestly, whatever your age or background. The first step is just a conversation, and we build the rest of the plan together from there.

I'm a psychiatrist who has spent years treating adults through mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and the aftermath of trauma. A good part of my practice centers on women's mental health, especially the perinatal period, when new parents are often navigating postpartum depression and anxiety alongside everything else that comes with a changing life. I see people who want to be genuinely listened to, not managed.

My starting point is simple: feeling heard, understood, and respected is the foundation of any care worth having. Our first visit is a thorough one, and it's mostly me asking questions and paying attention to your history, your concerns, and what you actually want out of treatment. From there we build a plan together and set goals that feel realistic rather than aspirational. When medication is part of the picture, I approach it thoughtfully, checking in regularly about side effects, progress, and whatever's shifting in your life, with close attention to what you'd prefer. I tend toward a calm, steady presence, and I try to be transparent so you always know where things stand.

Continuity matters to me. I'd rather stay with you over time, keeping communication clear, than hand you a quick fix and disappear. Curious whether the two of us would work well together? That's exactly what a first appointment is for.

As a psychiatrist, I work mostly with adults navigating bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and ADHD, along with the anxiety and depression that so often travel alongside them. Over more than fifteen years, I've practiced in psychiatric emergency services and outpatient clinics, from The Permanente Medical Group and the San Francisco Department of Public Health to early psychosis and public mental health work internationally. That range taught me to slow down and understand a person's history before shaping any plan.

I care a great deal about clear treatment goals set from the very beginning, so we both know what we're working toward. I try to keep communication open and honest, and my approach stays trauma-informed and culturally sensitive because context matters to how someone heals. A first appointment with me is a thorough evaluation: I want to hear your history, your concerns, and what you're actually hoping will change. From there we build an individualized plan grounded in evidence, drawing on medication and non-medication options as they fit you, and we adjust it together as things evolve.

I aim to be warm and steady, an active listener who takes your input seriously rather than talking over it. For patients who prefer it, I also offer care in Spanish. If any of that fits what you're looking for, reach out and we can talk through where to start.

Most of my work as a psychiatrist, board-certified in both general and child and adolescent psychiatry, is with people navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and the aftermath of trauma. That includes kids and teens as well as adults, and I treat many families where more than one generation is trying to make sense of the same struggle. As the child of a Virginian father and a Cuban mother, I grew up in Miami speaking both English and Spanish, and I see patients in either language.

I try to understand the whole picture before I recommend anything: what's happening now, what you've already tried, and what you actually want to change. Early visits are mostly about context and history, and I ask a lot of questions because I'm genuinely curious about how you got here and where you're headed. I'm not interested in one-size-fits-all answers. We'll clarify goals together, track what's working, and adjust as we go, with a focus on changes that make your daily life measurably better. Medication, when it's useful, is one part of that plan rather than the whole of it.

Patience and follow-through matter to me. I'd rather move at a pace that holds up over time than promise a quick fix. If you're a parent looking for care for your child, or an adult sorting through something that's been building for a while, I'd be happy to talk.

I'm a therapist who focuses on talk therapy with adults, including older adults, who are working through anxiety, depression, grief, and the kind of life transitions that quietly reshape how a person sees themselves. Some of the people I meet are navigating strained relationships; others are managing severe mental illness and want a steady partner in that work. I've spent time in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and earlier in my training I worked in an emergency room and specialty clinics, which taught me to stay calm and present when things feel far from calm.

The way I work is collaborative. Early on, I want to understand what's actually going on and what you're hoping will be different, so we can sketch out a roadmap for growth together rather than my handing you a plan. My first session tends to be conversational: we talk through what brought you in, a bit of your history, and how sessions and confidentiality work, and then we start naming goals. After that, our time centers on exploring your thoughts and feelings, noticing the patterns underneath them, and practicing skills you can use outside the room. I draw on DBT, CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches, but I fit the method to the person, not the other way around. We check in on progress along the way.

Deciding to start therapy takes something. If you've gotten this far, you've already begun.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of experience across outpatient and in-home settings, and I offer trauma-focused, culturally competent care for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, autism spectrum concerns, and the questions that come up around LGBTQ+ identity. I see children, adults, couples, and families, and I tend to look at whatever you're bringing in through the lens of relationships and family systems, because so much of what we struggle with lives in the space between us and the people we're closest to.

Every session I run is shaped around the person in front of me rather than a fixed script. I draw on systemic, client-centered, and cognitive behavioral approaches, but the through-line is that we work together and you set the priorities. Our first meeting is an intake session: a psychosocial assessment where we talk through your history and what you're hoping to change. After that, I like to start sessions with an open-ended prompt so you can steer us toward what actually matters to you that day. From there we build a treatment plan collaboratively and keep adjusting it as we go, checking in on whether it still fits.

My hope is that, over time, you find new perspectives, reach the goals you came in with, and feel more grounded in your own life. There's no rush to figure it all out at once. Reach out whenever the timing feels right for you.

I'm a psychiatrist with experience treating PTSD, including combat-related trauma and military sexual trauma, along with bipolar disorder, OCD, anxiety, depression, and the memory and mood changes that can come with traumatic brain injury and dementia. I spent 23 years working with veterans in the VA health care system, and much of what I've learned about listening carefully came from that outpatient work, along with time on inpatient units with both adolescents and adults. I feel a particular affinity for those who've served, for people whose lives have been shaped by immigration or refugee experiences, and for caregivers stretched thin by looking after someone else. I offer care in both English and Burmese.

A first visit with me is a thorough interview. I want to understand your symptoms, your medical and family history, what's stressing you, and what you actually want out of treatment before we settle on anything. From there I lean on active listening and constructive, honest suggestions. Depending on what fits, we might work through cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, behavioral changes, motivational approaches, and, when it belongs in the plan, medication. I check in on how things are going at every follow-up, whether that's a shift in your condition, a side effect, or a coping strategy that isn't landing, and I adjust the plan accordingly.

Not sure whether we'd work well together? That's exactly what a first appointment is for.

I'm a therapist, and I treat adults navigating the aftermath of crisis: acute mental health episodes, substance use and recovery, co-occurring struggles, and the kind of complicated life stress that piles up faster than anyone can process it. A lot of my experience comes from high-acuity settings, inpatient psychiatric units and addiction recovery among them, and I've also spent time advocating for medically complex kids and their families. That work taught me a lot about caregiver stress, medical trauma, and the exhaustion of dealing with systems that move faster than your emotions can keep up with.

My style is warm and collaborative, but I'm direct. I'll validate what you're going through, and I'll also gently push when I notice a pattern that isn't serving you anymore. Early on, I want to understand your story, your goals, and what you're already good at before we build anything. Some sessions we stabilize, some we do skill-building, some we work through what past experiences left behind. I care a lot about transparency and about pacing, so I'll check in regularly to make sure the plan still fits your values and your readiness, not just mine.

My training leans on attachment, nervous system regulation, and coping skills that hold up over time. If you're worn down from surviving one hard thing after another and want a steadier way forward, reach out and let's talk about where to start.

I'm a therapist, and over the past 25 years I've worked with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, mood and anxiety concerns, hard life transitions, and the kind of complicated stress that piles up faster than you can sort through it. My background spans outpatient, residential, and integrated care, along with clinical supervision and behavioral health leadership, so I've seen how many different shapes distress can take and how differently people need to be met in it.

I tend to be calm, steady, and pretty relatable, and I'm not afraid to let a little humor into the room when it fits. Early on, my focus is on building a real working relationship: getting to know your history, what's bringing you in, and what you actually want out of this. From there I put together a plan that reflects your values rather than a generic protocol. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence, and I lean on insight, emotional safety, and practical tools you can use between sessions. I check in often and adjust as we go, because what helps in month one isn't always what helps in month six. Honesty and transparency matter to me; I'd rather we name what's working and what isn't than pretend a plan is fine when it isn't.

Curious whether the two of us would be a good fit? That's exactly what a first conversation is for.

My work as a psychiatrist centers on treating adults living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and personality disorders, and I especially connect with people navigating LGBTQIA+ related mental health concerns. Before I ask about a diagnosis, I want to understand the person in front of me: what your days actually look like, what's worn you down, and what you're hoping might feel different. I try to be transparent about what I'm thinking and why, because I've found that treatment works best when you feel genuinely heard rather than processed.

Our first visit is a thorough psychiatric evaluation, but I don't rush it. I'll take the time to understand your history while we start building some trust, and from there we'll shape a plan around your goals, not a template. I think of care as something we adjust together over time; if something isn't working, I'd rather hear that and change course than keep pushing. When medication has a role, it's one part of a larger plan, never the whole story.

My training as a DO shapes how I look at the full picture rather than a single symptom, and I've worked across inpatient, outpatient, and virtual settings, which taught me how differently people arrive at care. Respect and honesty matter to me in every conversation.

If you've been putting off finding someone who'll actually listen and think it through with you, this is a good place to start.

Most of my work as a therapist is with adults across a wide stretch of life, from young adulthood through the senior years. I'm a clinical trauma counselor, and over the years I've worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, which means I'm comfortable with crisis intervention and risk assessment as well as steadier, week-to-week work. I also see couples and families, and I've provided telehealth since 2017. This is a judgment-free practice for everyone who comes to me, including people in poly relationships.

My style is warm and conversational, and it's grounded in wellness. I'll challenge you at times, but I do it in a supportive, non-confrontational way, never to put you on the spot. You set the goals; my job is to guide, ask questions, and explore alongside you. Our first session is mostly about your history, your life experiences, and any counseling you've done before, so I understand where you're coming from before we shape a plan together. I like attainable goals and steady progress, the kind where you feel just a bit more well today than you did in past days. I check in regularly about how our work is going, because your safety, comfort, and sense of fit matter to me, and I genuinely want your feedback.

If steady, collaborative progress toward feeling more well sounds like the pace you're after, reach out and let's talk.

I'm a psychiatrist specializing in OCD, PTSD and trauma-related conditions, postpartum depression, and bipolar disorder, and I've worked across outpatient, inpatient, and community mental health settings. Much of my career has been spent caring for underserved and diverse populations, which shaped how I listen: closely, and with attention to the parts of a story that don't fit neatly into a diagnosis. During my fellowship, supported by the SAMHSA Minority Fellowship Program, I trained in Seeking Safety, a trauma-informed treatment model, and that lens still guides how I understand the way past experiences show up in present symptoms.

I try to be transparent about what I'm thinking and why, so decisions about your care feel like ours rather than mine handed down to you. My first appointment is a thorough look at your psychiatric history, what's happening now, and what you actually want out of treatment, all at a pace that doesn't rush past the things that matter. When medication is part of the plan, it sits alongside therapeutic principles, psychoeducation, and coordination with your therapist or other providers, and we revisit progress regularly so the plan reflects your feedback, not just my notes.

If trauma or a postpartum stretch has left you feeling unsteady, and you want a psychiatrist who'll be honest and stay in it with you, reach out and let's talk it through.
