I practice psychiatry with a focus on careful diagnosis and thoughtful medication management. I take time to understand how symptoms evolved, what’s maintaining them, and what’s likely to help. My aim is to be clear, collaborative, and realistic.

I work closely with therapists and primary care clinicians. When ongoing psychotherapy is needed, I’m glad to collaborate with an existing therapist or help patients find a good fit. I see psychiatry as a complement to therapy, not a replacement.

Patients often describe me as direct, respectful, and easy to talk with.

Before psychiatry, I worked as a hospice chaplain and a screenplay editor. Both taught me to sit with uncertainty and help people make sense of difficult situations. I bring that to my clinical work.
