Professional statement

I’m an integrative psychiatrist who helps children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, and OCD to improve their self-esteem and feel more energized, happy, and motivated. I get to the root cause of health concerns by providing parents and young adults with a natural and integrative approach to healing that goes beyond traditional medicine. I also specialize in treating eating disorders, mood, and personality disorders, and working with families and children in the adoption and foster care system. If you think we would be a good fit, read on to learn more or you can visit my website.


Message to clients

The root causes of mental illness are unique to each individual. I value collaborating with my patients and knowing they feel listened to. I customize their treatment plans through a holistic approach, which may include nutraceuticals, mindfulness techniques and nutritional counseling to restore and heal the body. I also provide parent and family counseling.

As a mother of a child who was diagnosed with OCD, I understand the challenges that children and families go through. I also went through the adoption process, which caused anxiety, depression, and excitement all rolled into one amazing bundle of joy! These experiences have shaped my approach to how I help others unlock a powerful force that’s within us all.
