About
"Every person's path to mental wellness is unique, shaped by their experiences, challenges and dreams. My mission as a psychiatrist is to walk alongside you, combining cutting-edge, evidence-based treatments with deep empathy to create lasting, meaningful change. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, addiction or life's transitions, I'm here to listen, understand and partner with you to build resilience and rediscover purpose, peace and joy."
I'm a psychiatrist specializing in adult, geriatric and addiction psychiatry.
Growing up in a family of physicians, I saw how compassionate care could transform lives. Those early moments sparked a lifelong curiosity about the human mind and spirit, leading me to dedicate my career to psychiatry. I'm driven by the belief that mental health is the foundation of fulfilling life, and I'm honored to help my patients find clarity and strength, no matter where they are in their journey.
Philosophy of Care
I believe healing begins with being truly heard. My approach blends the latest advancements in psychiatry with a warm, nonjudgmental space where your story matters. Together, we'll explore your goals, uncover your strengths and create a personalized plan that empowers you to thrive.
Whether it's through therapy, medication or innovative treatments, my focus is on helping you feel whole again.
