There may be parts of your life and your identity that have been undernourished or ignored. Something is going on within you and around you that is causing distress and suffering. Perhaps, that experience is more complicated because of your gender, culture, religion, profession, and you are looking for someone with both the medical tools and the life experience to be able to understand you. People who are drawn to work with me are seeking a doctor who they can connect with, not based on the names of their disorders, but rather because they know that they can share the hidden parts of themselves and receive expert medical care.

Persons suffering emotional illness often are hesitant to trust others. Yet they must bridge this gap if they're to ask for and receive help. It's an evolving process that is made easier by encountering and interacting with empathetic, engaged, and experienced professionals. In addition, those professionals must be flexible, open-eared as well as open-minded if they truly desire to understand the person they're trying to help. This process begins at the first appointment when a psychiatrist must help the seeker answer the most important of questions: Can we talk, really talk? Can I trust him? Can he help me? Will he help me?

My pleasure and privilege is to use all of my skill as a physician/psychiatrist to make accurate and comprehensive diagnosis, and then treat with whatever forms of psychotherapy (and with medications when necessary) that will produce the best results for my clients/patients who genuinely want to be well, healthy, productive, and able to love and to work.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist offering psychiatric consultation, psychotherapy and medication management. I value confidentiality, and listening to my patients is a significant part of the work I do. How I practice is largely influenced by my appreciation for the unique biological, psychological, socio-cultural and spiritual aspects of an individual person. I see adults struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, academic/ professional concerns and life transition difficulties among others.
