Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I became a therapist because I’m passionate about helping people achieve mental wellness and navigate life's challenges. My experiences in diverse clinical settings have shown me how impactful compassionate, personalized care can be. What motivates me to continue is seeing the positive changes in my patients’ lives, whether it’s helping them manage anxiety, understand their medications, or cope with difficult emotions. Being able to support people on their mental health journey keeps me driven and inspired every day.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

If you're hesitant to try therapy, I want you to know that it's a space where you will be met with empathy, not judgment. Therapy is a partnership where we work together to address your concerns at your pace. It's not just about talking; it's about finding practical ways to improve your mental health and well-being. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but I’m here to support you through it and help you explore solutions that fit your unique needs.

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?

People should know that I’m deeply committed to building a trusting, collaborative relationship with my clients. I take the time to understand your specific needs and work with you to develop a personalized care plan that includes a mix of biological, psychological, and complementary treatments. I prioritize listening and ensuring that you feel heard and comfortable with every step of your treatment. My goal is to offer compassionate, effective, and accessible care that meets you where you are in your mental health journey.

How can you provide care remotely?

I provide remote care by leveraging secure telehealth platforms, allowing me to offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy from anywhere. Being licensed in both Florida and Oregon enables me to serve clients across these states, ensuring accessible and convenient care without sacrificing quality. Telehealth helps me maintain strong communication with my patients while offering flexibility in scheduling, so you can receive care from the comfort of your home.
