*Not currently accepting new clients*

​

It has been my goal to open a psychiatric clinic where clients feel they can come for compassionate, comprehensive mental health care. I provide medication management and therapy services for children, adolescents and adults. I utilize a client-centered approach, working with the client to develop a treatment plan that best suits their needs. I have been working in the mental health field for over 7 years, and have experience in the in-patient, out-patient, and emergency room settings. I pride myself on being empathetic and compassionate with all clients and aim to provide a therapeutic space that fosters authenticity, vulnerability, growth, and non-judgment. I look forward to working with you on your journey to a healthier you!
