You deserve a psychiatrist who is curious about your story and your goals—someone realistic but optimistic, who won't judge you, and who is motivated to help you get better. That is the standard I hold myself to.

I provide medication management and therapy, and I'm happy to work alongside your existing therapist when that makes sense. I also help patients build practical plans for sleep, exercise, nutrition, and daily habits—with the aim of living fully while taking the fewest medications necessary. Patients describe me as respectful, non-judgmental, and effective. They also say I'm easy to talk with.

My approach is collaborative. I want to understand not just your current symptoms, but the relationships, attachments, and habits that shape who you are now. I stay current with the research, and we decide together what fits.

Before becoming a psychiatrist, I worked as a hospice chaplain and a screenplay editor. Both taught me to help people tell and understand their stories in new ways—with honesty, hope, and a sense of agency. I bring that same focus to my work with patients.
