ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

I am a board-certified Physician Assistant specializing in mental health care. I earned my Master of Science in Physician Studies from A.T. Still University in 2018. I began working in outpatient psychiatry in Arizona in 2019 working with individuals across a broad range of mental health conditions. In 2023, I earned my Certificate of Added Qualifications (CAQ) in Psychiatry through the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants, further deepening my training in the field I have grown to love.

Before becoming a Physician Assistant, I worked as a teacher. That experience helped shape how I care for my patients. I believe in listening carefully, explaining things clearly, and creating a space where patients feel safe asking questions to engage in their own growth.

I believe in whole-person care. Mental health is not just about symptoms. I integrate medical, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches while using open-ended conversation to fully understand each patient’s unique story. My goal is simple: to help patients become the best version of themselves.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, biking to the beach, running, and traveling.
