Introduction

Welcome. I provide psychiatric care that combines a collaborative, warm approach with the most effective practices in psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. My focus is on helping relieve distress caused by anxiety, mood disturbances, trauma, obsessions, insomnia and other symptoms. Common therapy goals are to help with a difficult life transition, improve relationships, break maladaptive patterns or deepen personal understanding. Many of my clients are young adults adapting to life in/after college, raising a family, or juggling challenging careers. Compassionate, empowering care truly can help. Training: Psychiatry residency: UCSF, chief resident. Medical school: Washington University in St. Louis. Research fellowship: Harvard. Undergraduate: Dartmouth, dual degrees in psychology and philosophy. Master Psychopharmacology Certification: Neuroscience Education Institute. My style is collaborative, thorough, and multifaceted. I get to know my patients. In addition to my medical training, I draw on my background in psychology, philosophy, and cultural studies to think deeply about each patient from a holistic perspective. I value creating trusting, responsive relationships. I provide talk therapy and medication management.
