About me

As a psychiatrist, I know that there are a lot of negative beliefs about mental health issues. I help people deal with challenging mental health issues and see that they are not alone. I want them to know they can get through a difficult time and feel better.

I am warm and caring, and I enjoy getting to know my patients. I am here to listen to them and understand their goals, preferences, and experiences. Through clear communication with my patients and their family members, I’m here to help them achieve their goals and thrive.
