I believe mental health care should honor the whole person—your story, culture, creativity, and lived experiences—not just their symptoms.

My approach blends integrative psychiatry with narrative, visual, and ritual-based practices to create a treatment plan that feels deeply personal and truly collaborative.

I work with adults who are navigating:

Mood disorders

Anxiety disorders

Depressive disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorders

Posttraumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD)

Panic Disorder

Acculturation Difficulty

These are some of the most common struggles individuals face today, and I provide care that supports not only the patient but, when helpful, the broader family system.

Treatment Modalities

  • Integrative Psychiatry & Medication Management

    I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Yes, medication may be part of your treatment; but we also explore how sleep, nutrition, movement, relationships, and stress impact your mental health. Together, we'll build a plan that supports lasting wellbeing.

  • Narrative Therapy

    The stories we tell about ourselves shape how we see the world. I help patients re-author their stories, highlighting strengths and resilience. We transform “I’m broken” into “I’m healing” and “I always fail” into “I’m learning what works for me.”

  • Phototherapy & Visual Psychiatry

    Sometimes words are not enough. Through photos—whether from your past, created in the present, or chosen through guided prompts—we explore identity, memories, and meaning. Phototherapy allows patients to literally see their healing journey unfold.

  • Parent Coaching & Family Support
    Parents are the most influential figures in a child’s life. I offer education and tools to help parents foster resilience, emotional awareness, and connection in their children. When the family system is supported, children and parents alike thrive.

  • Ritualized Reflections & Practices
    Healing becomes sustainable when it is woven into daily life. Together we create rituals—such as intentional reflections, grounding practices, or symbolic exercises—that transform self-care into meaningful, consistent habits.
