I am a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive experience treating adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, and adjustment difficulties related to life transitions, work stress, and personal loss. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in evidence-based care, with an emphasis on understanding the whole person rather than just a diagnosis.

Patients often choose to work with me because I take the time to listen carefully and provide clear, practical guidance. I believe effective psychiatric care starts with a thorough evaluation, honest conversations about treatment options, and shared decision-making. My goal is to help patients feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the treatment process.

In addition to civilian clinical practice, I serve as a psychiatrist in the U.S. Air Force, caring for individuals in high-stress, high-responsibility roles. This experience has strengthened my ability to assess complex presentations, manage risk thoughtfully, and help patients navigate intense pressure, burnout, and major life changes with clarity and stability.

I strive to provide care that is both clinically rigorous and deeply human. I value transparency, consistency, and respect, and I work to create a nonjudgmental space where patients feel safe discussing difficult experiences. Beyond symptom reduction, my focus is on helping patients build resilience, regain a sense of control, and develop sustainable strategies for long-term emotional well-being.
