About
Parenting a struggling child can feel overwhelming. Is their anxiety driving success, or has it become a burden? Is trouble focusing just a phase, or a sign of something deeper? My role isn’t to change what makes your child unique but to help them harness their strengths and heal from what’s holding them back.
As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I blend psychotherapy with the thoughtful use of medication when needed. I take a holistic approach, considering medical, psychological, and social factors. Your trust means everything to me. I’ll work closely with you and your child, providing steady support as we navigate challenges together and find a way forward that honors who they are.
