CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY

Holistic, developmentally informed mental health care for children, teens, and families.

Supporting Young Minds Through Growth and Change

Childhood and adolescence are full of rapid emotional and developmental shifts. When a young person struggles, it affects the entire family. My role is to provide a safe, caring, and developmentally appropriate space where children and teens feel understood—and where parents feel supported.

At Veda Psychiatry, I offer integrative psychiatric care that honors each child’s individuality and the unique needs of your family.
