I was born and raised locally in Hampton Roads. I attended ODU for undergraduate education, EVMS for my Master's as a PA, and Rocky Mountain University for my DMSc in Psychiatry.
I have a strong passion for mental health and always advocate for my patients. I truly believe in recovery and that we are capable of making it happen in our own lives. It's OK to not be ok. It's OK to feel like we need some backup and I want to be a part of that team that supports you.
I am comfortable treating psychiatric symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and psychotic disorders. I take a collaborative approach and always want my patients to feel heard. I look forward to working with you!
