I value open communication and believe in building a warm, respectful environment where patients feel heard. I work collaboratively with patients to set clear treatment goals and tailor my approach to meet each person's unique needs. My practice emphasizes both medication management and supportive therapy to promote long-term well-being.

I have previously served as Chief of Mental Health at a VA Hospital and have maintained a successful private practice focused on medication management and supportive therapy.

My practice is influenced by my training and research in political and medical anthropology, psychoanalysis, and social psychiatry. I view mental health as inseparable from history, culture, and social context, not just neurobiology. My approach ensures patients time to elaborate how their life history shapes their experiences and goals. In a healthcare system that often relies on generic diagnoses and standardized plans, I work with each patient on their own terms, integrating psychotherapy and potential medications to support the pursuit of their unique life possibilities.

I often work with writers, actors, musicians, and visual artists and with journalists, academics, athletes, healthcare workers, and activists, many of whom seek treatment in response to creative blocks, burnout, and relationship struggles. I also have long-term experience working with people who have lived through incarceration, war, torture, migration, childhood abuse, and psychosis, and with those building queer and trans identities and communities.

To facilitate durable changes, I regard psychiatric symptoms as matters to be taken seriously, understood, and worked through, not simply suppressed by medications. I ask patients to actively engage in treatment and often recommend frequent appointments to support this.

I take a patient-centered approach to care, making it a priority to ensure that each patient's concerns are genuinely heard.
