Board-Certified Psychiatrist
My decision to become a psychiatrist was influenced by a very old family tradition of helping all people. I am committed to developing practical multidisciplinary approaches to improving the quality and delivery of health care to my patients. Whenever possible, my aim is to educate my patients not only about mental health care but also about basic health topics.

I decided on psychiatry due to family members benefiting from psychiatric care over the years. Unfortunately, I also saw what happens when a loved one is not accepting of care. I lost my grandmother due to suicide. She had seen some mental health care professionals for care but was not forthcoming with her symptoms and ended up taking her own life. I hope that I will be able to help my patients on the road to health and for their families to never know how suicide can affect a family.

My approach to behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment is integrative. I examine the patient as a whole person and focus on healthy lifestyle choices. I emphasize working together inter-professionally with behavioral health and medical providers to treat each patient, one step at a time, one day at a time.

I started my Career in Mental Health in 2010 as an RN working with pediatrics and truly fell in love with what I do. There is nothing better than helping a child to be successful and improve their quality of life. I believe in a strong holistic approach to healing, looking at all aspects of one’s life and personalizing care to meet the needs of the child and the family, through evidence based treatments.
