Bio

I work with adults experiencing a variety of mental health challenges including depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related disorders. I believe that all individuals have an innate capacity to heal, and I aim to connect each person with this capacity.

I use a wide variety of treatments including psychotherapy (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy), medications, ketamine therapy, and neurostimulation techniques (transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS) to provide comprehensive care that integrates ​the frontiers of neuroscience with a patient-centered approach.

My additional areas of interest include psychedelic medicine, integrative medicine (yoga, meditation, nature therapy), metabolic psychiatry (the impact of nutrition and exercise on mental health), and end-of-life/palliative psychiatry. I am committed to understanding the impacts of race, gender, culture, and class on mental health, because I believe oppression often perpetuates psychological suffering.

I’m deeply curious about each individual’s personal story, and the meaning assigned to this story. I believe in a collaborative approach to care that centers the patient-physician relationship and seeks to promote a culture of safety, trust, autonomy.

I view my work as an immense privilege and hope to be a part of your journey towards recovery and a sense of lasting well-being.
