Professional Interests

As a specialist for children ages 5 and older, I also enjoy caring for adult patients. My philosophy centers on a team-based approach in which patients are active participants and decision-makers in their care. This team extends beyond the clinic, drawing on supports both within and outside the mental health system to meet each individual’s needs.

Care goes beyond prescribing medication. I focus on building natural supports, setting achievable goals, and using medication as one part of a broader, individualized plan.

My professional interests include working with children and their families, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, prenatal and postpartum mental health, and supporting individuals experiencing substance use challenges.
