We all need a little help sometimes, and reaching out for help can be unnerving. I understand this and offer a warm and compassionate approach to meet you right where you are. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or another mental health concern, I believe in the remission of your symptoms and that there is always hope, even for those struggling with treatment resistant depression.

During my time working in primary care I have observed significant deficits in access to quality mental health care for both the geriatric and adult populations including patients with dementia, major depressive disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and substance use disorder. I’ve become focused on helping fill in those gaps in care. So often medications are quickly prescribed to manage complex issues that need an interdisciplinary and holistic approach. I obtained my buprenorphine waiver to help contribute to a solution of the opiate crisis which I have seen devastate the lives of people of all ages.
