Most importantly, I believe that for any treatment to be effective, it must be built upon the foundation of a genuine and trusting therapeutic relationship.
I am a psychiatrist who specializes in integrated psychiatric treatment that combines biological, social, cultural and psychological perspectives. My practice draws upon various evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches, and utilizes psychiatric medications if appropriate. I strongly believe that each person has a natural tendency to grow and realize her/his potential, but this process is frequently impeded for a variety of reasons. We will work together to identify those obstacles and to explore and articulate the feelings, thoughts and attitudes that are often not fully recognized. This is a collaborative, shared effort in a professional setting that is safe, open and supportive.

Emphasis is placed on unearthing unconscious patterns through free association and transference phenomena within the psychotherapeutic relationship.
I believe mental health results from a complex constellation of past and present interpersonal, intrapersonal, and bio-physiologic influence. My approach is toward narrative and understanding within a safe, dyadic relationship. I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and judicious prescribing in a small, referral-based psychiatric private practice. I concurrently maintain a clinical faculty appointment at the University of Washington, am a clinical associate at the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, and work as an attending psychiatrist at Overlake Medical Center.

My ideal client faces persistent issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles rooted in deeper, unresolved emotional patterns. They seek insight into recurring challenges, hoping to break free from unconscious cycles impacting their relationships and self-esteem. They want a therapeutic space to explore past experiences, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and authentic relationships. This client values an approach that delves beneath the surface, aiming for lasting transformation rather than symptom relief, and seeks a deeper understanding of themselves to support meaningful, long-term growth.

Relationship Issues Psychiatrists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
