I believe that our greatest purpose in this life is to alleviate the suffering of others. I can think of no more deserving area for this work than psychiatry, as psychological suffering all too often is carried with us an invisible injury; less easily identified than a missing limb but oftentimes more devastating.

I work best with any client who is brave enough to simply ask for help.

You are capable of unimaginable growth and recovery.

I am constantly inspired by the strength of my patients to continue to show up and fight for the life they deserve. It is not easy to stick with it when you feel weighed down by life, and their fortitude lights a fire in me to fight alongside them as we navigate the bumps and curves in the road.

In your first session with me you can expect introductions and an opportunity for you to share with me what your goals for treatment are. You can feel free to ask me any questions that might make you feel more comfortable and to share and good or bad past experiences. I know how unnerving a first appointment can be, so you can also expect a fair amount of praise for your bravery in seeking help.

I am relaxed, informal and dynamic. If you choose to work with me, you should know that we become a team in working towards your health and happiness. I do not believe in telling people what they should or should not do. Instead, I will take the time to listen to your story and your needs, provide you with a thoughtful recommendation and accept your decision to accept or decline that recommendation. This is your life, your mind, your body. You are in the driver's seat, I'm simply here to help you navigate as needed.

I am an imperfect but dedicated yogi and when I am not in session, I am probably in a hot yoga studio working on sweating out my own stress and anxiety.

My love for my family is everything to me. I believe in raising my children to be kind and compassionate souls who can bring more desperately needed love into this world.
