Our Team

I have an informal and non-judgmental approach that will help you relax and feel comfortable. I will get to know you as an individual, help you identify what you would like to change about your mental health, and work with you as a team. I perform a thorough diagnostic evaluation including a full history and in-depth investigation of symptoms, and develop a holistic treatment plan that can include psychiatric medications, psychotherapy, nutritional interventions, vitamins and supplements, stress management, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Ketamine Assisted Therapy. I love treating all psychiatric conditions, but I have special interest and expertise in working with patients with Depression, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, and Gender Dysphoria. I invite you to come with me on a journey toward maximum health and happiness. I will help you appreciate yourself as you are, while working to get even better. I can’t wait to get to know you, learn about your struggles and successes, and help you work toward your best possible life! 

I have an easygoing, friendly, and warm approach that will help you feel understood and supported. I will partner with you to create an integrative treatment plan combining pharmaceutical treatments, therapy, and complementary medicine including nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, balancing hormones, and utilizing the gut-brain connection to help you optimize your mental health. I work with patients ages 18 and up with all psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, OCD, trauma, as well as issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community.

I understand that the journey to mental health takes more than just medication. It’s essential to look at the entire puzzle of your wellbeing and make sure that every piece is working it's best. I firmly believe that it takes teamwork between the provider and the patient to be successful in diagnosing accurately and treating effectively.

I believe it takes serious courage to ask for help of any kind, and I am in awe of my clients’ strength, resilience, and grit on their road to mental health recovery. It is my ultimate goal to empower my clients through education, making them feel engaged and valued, and being the loudest cheerleader in their corner. No matter what life journey you’ve travelled, you will be treated warmly, with respect and dignity, always.

The therapeutic alliance between a clinician and patient is a crucial component to personalizing treatment plans and successfully assisting patients in managing their symptoms and unique mental health needs. I believe facilitating an empathic, supportive and nonjudgmental environment is essential for building trust and open communication. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients to make mutually agreed upon decisions around medication treatment plans with a holistic approach to assessment and treatment.

When you meet with me, I will make you feel welcomed, understood, and comfortable. I will partner with you in creating a unique, holistic treatment plan that can include up-to-date medications and medical treatments, as well as support in implementing changes in nutrition, activity, and sleep habits that will jump-start your recovery and help you maintain improvement. I will thoroughly discuss risks and benefits of any proposed treatments, and will encourage you to ask questions and do research, so you can make informed decisions about your own care. You will never feel rushed or pressured, and you will always have the final say in our treatment decisions. I love working with patients of all genders and with any psychiatric problems, but I am very passionate about Women's Mental Health, and have specialized expertise in treating psychiatric problems affecting women, including issues around fertility, sexuality and gender identity, peri-partum disorders, and problems associated with pre-menopause and menopause. 

In my previous work in primary and urgent care, I found that patients’ mental and physical health are inseparably linked, but mental health needs are not always prioritized. I decided I wanted to work in a practice where I could help people with both, which is what drew me to Owl and Eagle. When people are struggling with their mental health, they don’t always have the energy or focus to engage in self-care behaviors like eating a healthy diet and exercising. In addition, psychiatric medications often cause weight gain and metabolic changes that can make maintaining health more difficult. I’m here to help! I diagnose and treat depression, anxiety, and ADHD, and work with patients to implement good self care practices, so they can achieve their health and fitness goals. For patients who need to lose weight or improve their metabolic health, I employ the latest innovations in weight management including weight loss medications such as phentermine, peptides, semaglutide and tirzepatide. In conjunction with dedicated lifestyle changes, these medications can help you reduce risk of disease and add quality years to your life. Through counseling, I can help you identify and release beliefs that hold you back, and help you love yourself as you are, while you work to improve your health. My purpose is to provide individualized, highly motivating, compassionate care, to set you up for sustained success. With your commitment, we will develop a holistic treatment plan incorporating nutrition, lifestyle, and pharmacological interventions to help you improve your mental health and achieve optimal wellness. 

Are you mystified by the idea of being your authentic self? Have you felt that you carry too much trauma & are too flawed to experience your life in a new way? Perhaps you have a sense of the unique gifts you have to offer, yet are held back by codependency in relationships, a tendency to abandon yourself, or other painful patterns. Each one of us enters into this world with a powerful purpose. However, we often learn to adopt a different story. Counseling can provide a place to reunite with the parts of ourselves that have been forgotten, oppressed, & rejected in order to embody our original wholeness.

As a contemplative, somatic, trauma & attachment trained clinician, I offer a highly personalized, integrative approach that values the complexity of who you are & where you have been. I bring a wealth of knowledge around the transformative power of working with the nervous system to strengthen your sense of internal safety & depth of self-awareness.

Whether you have been on your healing path for decades, have hit rock bottom, or are just beginning to seek a deeper relationship with what it means to be you, I am here to join you in holding space for your journey. Thank you for taking the time to find a counselor who can meet you in the uniqueness of your path- I look forward to exploring with you!
