​Let's face it: life can be incredibly challenging, especially when we don't feel our best. Everyday tasks can become overwhelming, and it's easy to feel stuck. I commend your desire to feel better and address the challenges that brought you here today. Taking steps to improve your well-being is not selfish; it’s an essential part of caring for yourself. Together, we can explore what’s been troubling you, and collaborate on a personalized plan for your unique needs. 

I prescribe effective medications while also providing motivation and encouragement. I specialize in helping clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, grief, and sleep disturbances. I can perform ADHD evaluations, and prescribe ADHD medications when deemed appropriate. Additionally, I provide treatment for individuals recovering from alcohol or opiate addiction, who are suitable for outpatient care. I have completed specialized training in prescribing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options like Suboxone, Naltrexone, Vivitrol, Sublocade, Antabuse, and Campral to help manage cravings effectively.

My goal is to create a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing openly. Together, we can work towards overcoming the obstacles that have been holding you back. You deserve a life filled with greater happiness, health, and fulfillment.
