My approach is holistic and integrative, shaped by my background in acupuncture and Oriental medicine. That training taught me to slow down, notice patterns, and pay attention to how stress, emotions, and daily rhythms show up in our lives. Mindfulness is an important part of my practice, helping people build awareness, steadiness, and a deeper connection with themselves. I provide psychiatric medication management for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions. I work with patients ages 13 to 64, and focus on empowering individuals to take an active role in their care. Medications are used carefully and intentionally, alongside mindfulness practices, lifestyle support, and education that encourage balance and resilience. At the heart of my practice are compassion, presence, and respect. I’m passionate about empowering individuals to reconnect with what matters most to them and move toward becoming their best selves in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable. I strive to create a warm, genuine, nonjudgmental space and am glad to provide care in both English and Spanish.Meet our Tucson, AZ therapists, psychiatrists & providers
