About

Biography

In my practice, I specialize in psychiatric evaluations, suicide assessment and prevention, psychoeducation, connecting families with community resources and referrals, and safety planning. I believe that everyone is doing their best despite the obstacles they face, and I strive to be a supportive resource for my patients and their families. My goal is to provide guidance and encouragement as we work together toward achieving your child’s goals and well-being.

I am committed to creating a welcoming and collaborative environment where families feel heard and empowered. Whether your child needs help managing a mental health concern or you’re seeking resources and support, I am here to help you find the right path forward.

Since high school, I’ve known that I wanted to make a difference in the lives of young people and help build a brighter future for all of us. As a mother myself, I understand firsthand the importance of early intervention and having a supportive team of medical experts by your side.

Outside of work, I love cooking, baking, painting, exercising and spending time with friends and family. I also enjoy vacationing at the lake, where I can relax and recharge.
