“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.' It’s a powerful reminder that growth often involves struggles and transformations before we reach our full potential.”
The Driving Force Behind My Passion and Motivation in Psychiatry

Mental health shapes every part of our lives, and it’s where I truly feel I can make the biggest difference for my patients. Helping them become the best version of themselves is what inspires me every day.

Conversational Vibes, Tailored Just for You!

I’m all about the details and making sure we cover everything. Let’s start by diving into when your symptoms first showed up, what’s helped you before, what hasn’t worked, and what your personal goals are. I believe in a team approach—where we talk through your concerns, reflect on them, and work together to find the best solution tailored just for you.

Your Vision, Our Expertise: Let’s Thrive Together!

Whether you’re a young adult, a busy professional, a parent juggling it all, or a student trying to stay balanced, this approach is for anyone looking to nurture their mental health with a holistic and balanced mindset.

Shared Experience, Real Connection

Having gone through the emotional ups and downs, along with the hormonal shifts of pregnancy and postpartum after the birth of my son, I’ve developed a deep passion for perinatal mental health. I truly understand the unique challenges during this time and am dedicated to supporting others through it.

Unplugging and Recharging: What I Do When I’m Not Working

I’m a travel enthusiast! My husband and I have explored so many corners of the world, and we’re always dreaming up our next adventure. When we’re not traveling, you’ll find me outdoors—whether it’s hiking, swimming, gardening, walking my dogs, or just sipping a hot cup of coffee on the back porch on a sunny day.

Little Things That Bug Me

Always snackin’, never slackin’—stay fed so I don’t get hangry!

Fun Facts & Quirks: A Peek into My Unique Personality

I’m all about that yellow life—bright car, bold clothes, sunny vibes. If it’s cheerful and loud, I’m probably wearing it or sipping from it. Just like my favorite color, I bring the sunshine wherever I go.

I’m passionate about helping my patients connect the dots—from DSM diagnoses to the small, everyday habits that support true wellness. Whether it’s nutrition, movement, sleep, routines, or relationships, I love exploring how it all ties together to support both mental and physical health. It’s all about the full picture, not just the pieces.
