Optimal mental health is the goal, not just the absence of disease.

Compassionate, direct-access psychiatric medical care for children, teens, and adults.

The "Direct Care" Promise

I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role isn't to tell you who to be, but to act as a coach and partner in your wellness. In a medical world of 15-minute windows and automated phone trees, I’ve chosen a different path. I work directly with you—no secretaries, no barriers—so we can address the root causes of your symptoms together. Whether we are meeting online or in-person, my goal is to provide a space where you finally feel heard.

I believe you can only meet others as deeply as you have met yourself. My path to psychiatry was shaped not just by textbooks, but by a lived journey through generational trauma, displacement, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild.

I don’t just understand these challenges clinically—I understand them humanly.

As the child of refugees, I grew up at the intersection of two worlds, navigating the weight of inherited silence and the hurdles of financial insecurity. From the vulnerability of living in a women’s shelter to the resilience required to thrive in medical school, my life has been a masterclass in the human spirit’s ability to heal.Our histories aren't just stories—they are the blueprints for how we navigate the world today.Today, I offer my patients more than just medication management; I offer a surplus of emotional bandwidth and a deep, trauma-informed perspective. Whether you are navigating your own history or seeking a partner in your child’s wellness, I am here to walk that path alongside you—without the barriers of a traditional medical office.

Work with someone who gets it. Work with someone who gets you.

YOUR INVESTMENT

A comprehensive, 60-minute Initial Consultation begins our collaboration. Are we a good fit?

One-Time Investment | $450

Consistent progress requires time, focus, and a partnership free from the distractions of third-party bureaucracy. To provide this level of dedicated care, I offer a Bundled Clinical Care model. Instead of unpredictable per-session billing, all psychiatric services are provided for a single, flat rate.

Ongoing Investment | $250 monthly

This approach ensures you have a direct line to your doctor and that my cognitive energy is focused entirely on optimizing your mental health.To maintain clinical independence, I do not bill any commercial insurances, have opted out of Medicare, and do not accept Medicaid.Fees are usually eligible for HSA/FSA spending to maximize your healthcare dollars.Monthly superbills for out-of-network reimbursement can also be provided for clinical encounters. Reach out to your commercial insurance to ask how much may be covered (typically 50% to 80% after a separate deductible is met).
