Personal Psychiatric Services
We all experience pain and trauma in our lives. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that may have occurred following traumatic events. We can help you overcome and guide you through the process of healing and recovery.
Many children and adults experience difficulty with attention and concentration caused by ADHD or ailments caused by trauma PTSD which are often mis-or underdiagnosed. We specialize in treating these conditions and can help you take charge and reach your personal goals at your optimal potential.
Having over 15 years of diverse experience as a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychiatric care including diagnosis, evaluation, dynamic psychotherapy, and prescribed medication management to quickly attain desired results as we plan.
In addition to PTSD and ADHD specialties, I treat all general concurrent mental health disorders that are oftentimes present. I diagnose, evaluate and prescribe psychotropic medications, and provide motivational holistic psychodynamic therapy that is centered around you. We will work closely to find and implement the best, most effective treatment options in accordance with your personal needs and priorities.
ADHD and PTSD are my primary specialties. These "conditions" overlap many, many other mental health "conditions." I also treat my patients who require a higher level of care who may experience general psychiatric/ mental health issues as well such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, mood disorders, substance use issues and who typically are top performers.
Our mission is to realize your resilience and innate, strengths and build upon them with proper treatment for you. We achieve this by pretty much doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to identify and meet your needs as we discover and actualize your true potential and life fulfillment.
I promise to be there for you through your journey and it is an honor and a privilege to do so. I am truly patient-centered as we work together to reach and exceed your goals.

I do not accept insurance. However, patients are oftentimes reimbursed for much, if not all, of their visit costs. Superbills are available through the patient portal. Please ask your insurance carrier for details regarding reimbursement options and the process. Be sure and ask for same in-network coverage reimbursement under the GAP EXCEPTION for insurance carriers with provider shortages which are most areas. Ask your insurance company for more information.
