Hello. I'm a board-certified medicine physician with 9+ years of experience and a provider at Stella Center DC. I provide patients with biological interventions for mental health challenges like PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I offer in-office medical treatments for mental health, like stellate ganglion block (SGB) and ketamine infusion therapy, paired with trauma-informed teletherapy to bring dramatic healing in the window of transformation following treatment. Symptoms we treat include disrupted sleep, panic attacks, irritability, hypervigilance, and more.

My therapeutic style is rooted in integration, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing to tailor sessions to each client's unique needs. The goal is to create a safe haven where clients can rediscover their authentic selves, fostering vulnerability and transparency that paves the way for transformative change. Let's embark on this journey together toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

What does it actually mean to be human? I like to think of myself as an introspective and critical thinker. By no means am I smarter than anyone else in the room, and I never want to have a dialogue that turns into a debate. So how does this question get answered? One way that I have come to appreciate the conversation is to listen to people's thoughts and processes of how they are trying to get to the answer.

Your search for inner peace is closer to fulfillment than you may realize. You have just made the first step toward healing, by looking for information that can help you make life changes and live the life you desire.

I will help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. I am here to listen and work with you during your journey towards healing and living the life you want.
