Welcome. Take a breath. I’m grateful you’ve found my website. I’m honored that you’re considering sharing a part of your journey with me.
I’m a psychiatrist who discovered a passion for psychotherapy during my training. I hope to offer a safe space for you to explore in depth: Who are you? What thoughts and feelings have been coming up? What are your values and priorities? How did you get here? Who do you want to be, and how might you get there? What knowledge do you need, and what skills do you practice to continue building a vital life?
I started my private practice because I believe patients deserve time and in-person presence, not only quick medication checks. Therapy and medication often work better in combination, and I’m grateful to have the medical training to offer therapy and if needed, medication.
Are you ready to take the next step to do the work to heal and grow?
