Background:

I am a board-certified psychiatrist who earned my medical degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch (2019), completed my psychiatry residency at the University of New Mexico (2023), and my fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at Duke University (2025) — serving as a chief resident in both programs.

I have received training in psychodynamic psychotherapy in residency, fellowship, and at the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas, and I am also trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive psychotherapy, and family therapy.

Approach to care

Treating persistent problems and addressing self-defeating patterns within our relationships, our work, and within ourselves often benefit from a level of self-understanding that depth therapy can provide.

In this spirit, I offer longer appointment times and more availability in the frequency of follow-ups than the standard psychiatric med check appointments. This is so I can try and better understand you, and so that you might feel more comfortable with me over time.

I find the most satisfaction in helping patients achieve levels of insight into their own mind that allows them to continue to grow long after treatment has ended.
