She is easy to talk to, and I can feel she cares about her patients. She listens to me and helps me with my concerns. She unfortunately had a health problem and canceled my in-person appointment, but she still offered a virtual option. I am glad I found a doctor who makes me feel comfortable.

Was very thorough and I felt listened too during the appointment. She also help me understand what the process was like as it was my first time going to see a pyschiatrist. I would recommend her to others.
