Life can feel overwhelming when emotional/psychological struggles begin to affect your overall sense of well-being. I serve clients who have spent time pushing through anxiety, depression, ADHD, Trauma or stress and decided to seek support. I am passionate about helping them gain a deeper understanding of what they are experiencing and identify solutions that support lasting improvement in a safe non-judgemental interaction. My hope is that every patient feels valued, understood, and empowered as they take meaningful steps toward their goals

Many of my patients are managing on the outside while running on empty underneath, and some have spent a long time feeling unseen, even told their symptoms were "just stress" when something deeper was going on. They come to me with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, or the mental health side of a complex or chronic condition. Together, we figure out what's really driving things, including the physical pieces others have missed, and build a plan that fits their life, so they finally feel understood and able to move forward.

I'm a board-certified psychiatrist and physician in Texas, working with adolescents, adults, and families across the lifespan on anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and life transitions. I've practiced across outpatient and inpatient settings and trained in several hospital systems. I trained in pediatrics before psychiatry, and I lean into integrative psychiatry, treating the mind and body as connected. I take time to understand what's driving your concerns, and I consider the whole of your health, from medication to sleep and lifestyle, to find what works for you.
