Collaborative, Evidence-Based Care
Welcome to Sage Strategies! Whether you’re a loving parent who wants the absolute best care for your child, or you’re a professional or practitioner who wants to support the mental health needs of the children you work with, my goal is to provide compassionate care and quality education.
You’re likely here to be an advocate for the kids and young adults in your life and community, and I don’t take that lightly. Mental health problems are increasing in both prevalence and severity among our youth, yet resources and solutions aren’t exactly readily available. My aim as a double board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist is to work collaboratively to help you make informed decisions to support your child’s healing and growth.

For Families
I help parents provide their kids with the individualized, proven mental health care they need to thrive in all areas of life. Using a holistic approach allows me to truly see the whole child, rather than simply addressing or “fixing” primary symptoms alone.
My goal is to create a warm and supportive environment for your child or young adult so that you can rest easy knowing they’re in trusted, capable hands.
I employ trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), evidence-based medication management when appropriate, lifestyle interventions, or recommendations for other treatment if needed.
FOR THERAPISTS, CLINICIANS, AND YOUTH ADVOCATES
Through in-person and virtual consultative services, I help therapists, pediatricians, and other professionals who work with youth facilitate the highest-quality mental health care possible.
The truth is, even some of the most well-intentioned individuals lack the specialized expertise required to adequately support the mental health needs of the children they serve.
As a double board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, I’m here to bridge the gap by providing expert-level resources and education to school systems, primary and tertiary care providers, and more.
Patient-Centered Care
an expert you can count on
Far too often, I hear from patients and their families about unsettling past experiences with other mental health care providers. Parents have shared stories of abrasive, dismissive, or paternalistic doctors who fall short of providing evidence-based treatment options or sufficient education and support to patients and caregivers.
My mission is to raise the collective standard of mental health care in our community and beyond so that families feel less overwhelmed and confused and more empowered and confident when it comes to making the best decisions for their child’s wellness.
Using mindfully modern, integrative treatment models ensures each patient is given the attention, care, and treatment options that will work best for them (no one-size-fits-all approaches here).
