— CLINICAL CARE

— ONE RELATIONSHIP

Therapy and psychiatry, together

Therapy and psychiatry have been kept apart for too long. Two appointments. Two providers. Two conversations that never meet. I offer both, in one relationship.

Evaluation and medication

A full psychiatric evaluation, and medication when it helps. Never the default and never the first step.

Therapy and EMDR

Therapy and EMDR when they help, offered by the same person who already knows your story.

Understanding your care

I teach as I treat. You will know what is happening, what each option does, and why. The decisions are yours.

All of it managed by one person who actually knows your whole story, so you are never split between providers who do not talk to each other.

— WHAT I TREAT

Eight ways this shows up. One way I treat it.

Every woman I see is different, but most of the reasons they reach out fall somewhere in this list. Wherever you land, we start with the whole picture.

When your body stops feeling like yours

The mood shifts, the anxiety, the brain fog, the sleep you cannot get right.

PMDD Perimenopause & Menopause

Becoming a mother, in every direction

Trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum and just not okay. Pregnant does not mean unmedicated.

Perinatal & Postpartum

The weight you have carried a long time

ADHD that got missed for years. Depression and anxiety that need more than a prescription. Grief, and the quiet loss of who you used to be.

ADHD in Women Depression & Anxiety Life Transitions

When food takes up more space than it should

The food noise, the binge, the number on the scale that became the loudest voice in your head.

Eating, Weight & Mental Health

When you perform at a level most people don't

I know what excellence costs, and how quietly it wears on you when you are always the strong one.

How I practice

Four things that are true in every plan I build.

  • 01

    Evidence-Based

    Psychopharmacology, EMDR, hormonal mood support, and therapy grounded in real clinical research. Never a protocol off a shelf. Always built around you.

  • 02

    Holistic

    Nutrition, mindset, movement, and self-care are not extras. They are inseparable from your mental health, and your plan honors every part of it.

  • 03

    Faith-Centered

    For those who welcome it, faith and spiritual grounding are woven in naturally and respectfully. Never pushed. Always honored.

  • 04

    Judgment-Free

    A place where you are seen, heard, and met exactly where you are. Always. Without labels, without shame, without exception.
