I focus on providing a comprehensive medical assessment, medication management, psychoeducation, wellness, and alternative therapies. My approach is collaborative, and I have a strong interest in functional medicine and alternative therapies. I have also taught seminars in differential diagnosis, alternative therapies, and psychopharmacology.

I am board certified in adult psychiatry and have been practicing psychiatry for more than 40 years. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Rochester and earned my MD from Cornell University Medical College in New York City. My psychiatry residency was at the University of Boston Medical Center. After training, I held clinical and administrative positions at Kaiser Permanente in Denver, CO and the Harvard Community Health Plan in Braintree, Massachusetts.

Prior to joining Talkiatry, I practiced at the University of Denver Health and Counseling Center for 20 years, where I treated undergraduate and graduate students. I also worked at a clinic providing care to indigent patients, which was also a training site for graduate psychology students. I have supervised and taught psychiatric residents and psychology trainees.

My presence at Talkiatry brings my career full circle and back to my greatest joy as a psychiatrist: working directly with patients one-on-one to help them integrate the complexity of their feelings, beliefs, and personal reality in the context of an increasingly complicated world around them. I take a compassionate, individualized, and pragmatic approach to treatment, beginning in the first visit with a full history and discussion with the patient of their symptoms, challenges, and goals. Follow-up visits are tailored to the patient's evolving needs and combine shared insights and tools such as medications and behavioral practices to support them as I guide them on their unique journey toward their best life, on their terms.

My qualifications include a B.A. in biology from Harvard University and an M.D. from Tufts School of Medicine. I completed psychiatry residencies at Mt. Sinai and Brown and am board certified in both Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. My four decades of practice have exposed me to an eclectic range of cultures, ethnicities, and pathologies in a wide variety of settings, from solo practice to regional medical centers to academic institutions. This breadth and depth of clinical and life experience have helped me transcend cultural biases and institutional conventions and to more clearly see each patient as a uniquely complex and lovable individual.

I prefer a holistic approach to psychiatric treatment and therefore use a combination of medication management and talking therapies to treat patients. Techniques I may utilize include cognitive behavioral therapy, experiential psychodynamic therapy, mentalization based therapy, and medical hypnosis.

I have experience working with a diverse group of patients, having previously worked in community clinics in the greater Los Angeles area and as a staff psychiatrist at UCLA.

I foster a warm, collaborative environment where patients and families feel supported and understood. I emphasize open communication and work closely with patients to define meaningful, realistic treatment goals. My holistic, family-centered approach integrates medication management, therapy, and psychoeducation with a deep commitment to cultural sensitivity and compassionate care. I begin by learning each patient's personal story, clinical history, and goals through a comprehensive evaluation, then create individualized, evidence-based treatment plans tailored to each child's unique needs and family context. I continuously collaborate with patients, families, and care teams to ensure treatment remains effective, combining psychotherapy, medication management, and coordination with other providers and resources.

Follow-up visits typically last 30 minutes, during which I evaluate progress and adjust treatment as needed. If necessary, I may recommend additional therapy as part of a well-rounded treatment plan.

I believe in a comprehensive approach to treatment that integrates medications, therapy, and lifestyle interventions. While medications can be very effective, I view them as just one part of a broader treatment plan tailored to each patient's needs. I emphasize individualized care and see treatment as a team effort, meeting patients where they are and progressing at a pace they feel ready for. I strive to create a warm, collaborative environment that fosters open communication and genuine connection.

For me, success is always shared: when patients succeed, we succeed together; when challenges arise, we regroup and move forward together.
