With nearly two decades of experience in mental health care, I have walked alongside people through some of the most challenging moments of their lives. My career has spanned high-acuity psychiatric units in both the U.S. and Europe, community outreach programs, and outpatient care — each setting shaping my belief that mental health treatment must be both skillful and deeply human.

I started Bold City Behavioral Health because I wanted to give people the kind of care I would want for my own family — care that isn’t rushed, where you feel heard, understood, and respected. In large systems, I often saw people reduced to a diagnosis or a chart number. Here, you are a person with a story, a voice, and goals that matter.

My approach combines evidence-based psychopharmacology with therapeutic strategies tailored to each individual’s needs. But beyond the treatment plan, my commitment is to sit with you in the difficult moments, celebrate your progress, and help you build the tools you need to move forward with confidence.

I believe mental health care works best when it’s a collaboration — between provider and client, and among the wider circle of support that may include therapists, primary care providers, case managers, and community resources. Together, we create a foundation for stability, growth, and healing.

This work is more than my profession — it’s my calling. Every day, I’m reminded that while the challenges we face may be great, the human capacity for resilience, recovery, and transformation is greater.
