Every person is different, and my job is to understand you. During my Army career, I cared for service members and families through some of life’s hardest moments, taught psychiatry to new doctors, and served as an expert in military and federal courts. That work taught me how much the therapeutic relationship matters. I see children age 5 and up, teens, and adults. I’m very passionate about treating PTSD, trauma, addiction, and sleep. My background includes an addiction psychiatry fellowship, leading and teaching at a psychiatry residency, and have published research and medical book chapters. I offer medication management alongside structured, evidence-based therapies, including CBT, prolonged exposure, and motivational interviewing.
