I’m a psychiatric physician assistant with 9 years experience and a deep passion for helping people feel like themselves again. I earned my degree from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, and my clinical training includes time at University of North Carolina Hospitals, where I gained experience caring for patients across a wide range of psychiatric needs. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working across multiple facets of mental health, including inpatient, addiction medicine, geriatrics, and treatment-resistant depression, utilizing cutting-edge treatments like TMS and ketamine. These experiences have taught me that mental health is rarely one-dimensional, and that effective treatment requires patience, creativity, and a truly individualized approach. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, supportive, and grounded in trust; not rushed or one-size-fits-all. At the heart of it, I truly love what I do. Being part of someone’s journey toward feeling more balanced, confident, and in control of their life is something I don’t take lightly, and it’s what continues to inspire my work every day.
