Care Philosophy: I believe you know your mental health best and will work with you to provide individualized, compassionate, evidence-based care. I provide medication management, psychoeducation, and supportive psychotherapy.

Care Philosophy: I take pride in and have a passion for my work and derive satisfaction in building a strong therapeutic alliance and seeing my patients get better.

Care Philosophy: I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Philosophy from Emory University and a Master's in Physician Assistant Studies with a concentration in psychiatry from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. I have completed specialized training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and psychopharmacology. Before becoming a PA, I worked as a mental health counselor in a residential center, conducted research on therapeutic methods for children with mental disorders, and worked in a lab focused on narratives, mental well-being, and identity. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds, treating conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and substance use disorders. Every patient is unique, and I am dedicated to developing individualized treatment plans that align with each person's goals and needs. I'm excited to work with you and applaud you for taking this important step toward prioritizing your mental and emotional well-being.
