I am a board-certified psychiatrist and Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. For me, being a physician is more than a profession—it is a vocation to help indviduals flourish. My practice is devoted to students and young adults seeking thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care that extends beyond symptom relief. I provide comprehensive evaluations that consider medical, nutritional, lifestyle, and psychological factors—including laboratory testing when clinically appropriate—to identify the contributors to emotional and cognitive health. I also specialize in evidence-based de-prescribing for patients who wish to reduce or discontinue psychiatric medications for anxiety, attention difficulties, or substance use disorders. My approach is guided by precision, humility, and restraint: using the least intensive intervention necessary while drawing upon the full breadth of evidence-based medicine. Depending on each patient's needs and goals, I integrate psychotherapy, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, exercise, targeted supplementation, and, when appropriate, carefully selected medications into a personalized treatment plan. In addition to my clinical work, I have presented internationally on psychiatric deprescribing and medical ethics. My work has been recognized with awards from the American Psychiatric Association, the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions, the American Psychoanalytic Association, and other leading professional organizations. I am the Founder & Medical Director of Verigrate Health. I am licensed to serve patients in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Lousiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Washington, D.C., and Wisconsin.

I am a Behavioral Health Consultant with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, providing supportive, client-centered care to adolescents, young adults and adults. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building practical skills for everyday life. I have experience working in school-based, private practice settings, supporting students and families with concerns such as anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, academic pressure, and life transitions. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when challenges begin to impact daily functioning, and I work collaboratively with clients to help them regain a sense of control and stability. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and strengths-based. I incorporate evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral strategies, psychoeducation, and skill-building, while also recognizing the importance of each client's unique background and goals. I aim to help clients not only manage immediate concerns but also develop long-term coping strategies and resilience. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need someone to talk to, l am here to support you in moving forward at your own pace.

When I was a student in college, my parents were going through a bitter divorce and I lost a close friend from school and three family members all in one year. I felt as if I was losing my mind. My close friends connected me with a therapist and it literally changed my life. I felt heard, supported and validated and was given permission to let things go and actually focus on my issues and my needs instead of everyone else’s. This is one of the main reasons why I practice therapy and have a heart for college-age students. I was you once and I hope to help just as I was once helped. We all go through seasons in our lives when things just feel too overwhelming or we feel as if we cannot get through it without a little help. I believe that is what therapy is for. It is to help us find our voices and find ourselves again. In the seasons when we feel lost and hopeless, a therapist can help empower us to find the strength to overcome our challenges and heal from our pain. I am a firm believer in the notion that we only live once on this earth. Make the most of it. Heal the hurt. Develop a growth mindset. Live a life that is full so that you can thrive at being the best version of you! I am honored to help you get there!

The transition to college is huge and especially challenging after years of having life structured for you. Let’s work together to help you feel better and get back on track to bring out the best version of you. We will work on ways to cope with anxiety, clean up self-talk, and work on boundaries if need be. We can work on creating some structure with some flexibility that works for you. I can help you with regaining focus and getting back on track. I look forward to hearing from you!

Do you ever feel like you keep landing in the same relationship pattern, even with different people? Or maybe something feels off in a way you can't quite name yet. That's usually where we start. I work with individuals and couples, especially people who've felt unheard or misunderstood in past therapy, or in life generally, including those in helping professions, therapists, nurses, teachers, pastors, who are so used to holding everyone else that they've forgotten someone can hold them too. A lot of what we'll work on comes back to self-worth, the root of most of what people bring into my office, whether it shows up as relationship drama, burnout, or a quiet sense of "something's wrong with me." I use CBT and DBT, not in a worksheet-y way, more like practical tools for when things get hard. You don't need to have it all figured out here, just show up as you are. I'm bilingual (¡hablo español!) and licensed in Michigan and Virginia, seeing clients in person and virtually. If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear your story.

Are you an undergraduate or graduate student always imagining the worst in every scenario and feel anxious and on edge, no matter what you do? You’re someone who is a high achiever, but you still find yourself overthinking about the smallest things, feeling fearful when you think about the future, and afraid to make changes. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself & your past experiences, and you’re ready to change your “default setting” and start creating new patterns in your life. You’re ready to finally feel like yourself again. I specialize in working with undergraduate and graduate students struggling with anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues understand themselves on a deeper level, grow in confidence, and make positive changes in their lives. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who “gets” them on a deeper level, is easy to talk to, open-minded, and down to earth, because therapy should be a place where you feel seen and heard. Sessions with me are non-judgmental and always go at your own pace. I’ll show up as a real person, challenge you when you need it, and be genuinely invested in you and your journey. Here you can show up as your authentic self to process and reflect on difficult feelings and emotions. A life where you thrive at ease is possible. You don’t have to continue to feel uneasiness and dread, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to guide you and help you get curious about yourself to create change, growth, and a more fulfilling life. Email me today! I can’t wait to hear from you!

Before anything else, I prioritize and value the relationship I build with each person I work with and believe that therapy is a unique space where growth and change occurs through a strong, collaborative relationship. As your therapist, you can expect us to explore both your past and present experiences, as I believe our past often shapes how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world today. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, authenticity, and curiosity about yourself. Together, we'll explore both your thoughts and emotions to better understand your experiences and identify meaningful ways to move forward. I believe that while there is much about the human experience that we all share, each person's story, identities, and life circumstances are uniquely their own. I see you as the expert on your own life and view therapy as a collaborative process. While you set the direction, I'm here to offer guidance and help us determine where our work can be most meaningful. I consider myself very much a "talk therapist," meaning I believe much of the therapeutic change occurs within the therapy relationship and room itself. I also strive to create a space that feels genuine, relaxed, and approachable. Therapy can absolutely involve difficult emotions, but it can also include laughter and moments of joy along the way.
