I am passionate about fighting the stigma of mental health and assisting others as they access their own potential for growth and change. My practice is grounded in a comprehensive patient-centered philosophy that incorporates evidence-based treatment options. My clinical expertise and extensive experience in diagnosing and management of a wide range of mental health conditions helps me to formulate individualized treatment plans that help patients achieve optimal mental well-being. At the heart of my practice is the patient. I strive to cultivate a compassionate, therapeutic, and safe environment for my clients which allows them to feel empowered, identify personal goals, and make informed decisions related to their specific needs.
My core approach to care begins with the unique story each patient needs to tell. When you arrive there is a comfortable waiting room with plants and music playing. Treatment with me is based on a collaborative effort between me and my patients. I begin each relationship with a comprehensive two hour psychiatric evaluation, that includes a full medical history as well. I also focus on the importance of nutrition and healthy eating during that evaluation. At the end of the consultation, there is open discussion about treatment options. If a patient has an existing therapist, a release form is signed so there can be ongoing confidential communication between providers. At all times patient confidentiality is held sacred and absolutely necessary for successful treatment. During my time in practice I have always been a staunch advocate for my patients, particularly in the area of insurance denials. I am equally passionate about patient education.

I am a graduate of the internationally renowned McLean Hospital of Harvard Medical School, and possess additional specialty training in geriatric psychiatry from the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA.
I approach my work from an existential and humanistic perspective that attempts to integrate the biological, developmental, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of your life experience. With nearly 30 years of clinical, research, and teaching experience at some of the finest institutions in the country, I believe firmly that best outcomes are achieved through a combination of talk therapy (psychotherapy) and psychoactive medications (psychopharmacology). Unlike most practices, the duration and frequency of your visits will solely be determined by the appropriate level of clinical care required, not insurance payment considerations. The initial visit (and more, if needed) will be purely consultative.
