Find the right psychiatrist for your needs

I emphasize psychoeducation as a core part of care, ensuring patients are active participants in understanding and managing their mental health. I bring a deep interest in transcultural issues and in how social media and news cycles impact emotional well-being. I work collaboratively with patients to define or clarify concrete treatment goals by the end of the initial appointment, and I maintain a low threshold for revisiting and adjusting treatment plans if progress feels unsatisfactory, ensuring care remains flexible and effective. My informal, eclectic interpersonal style allows me to tailor my approach to each individual, fostering trust and partnership in the therapeutic process.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with experience treating patients in both acute inpatient psychiatric emergencies and outpatient medication and psychotherapy settings. I earned my medical degree from Brown University, completed my internship in the Columbia system, and pursued residency training at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. I have practiced in academic, urban, suburban, and rural environments, which has given me broad perspective and adaptability in caring for diverse patient populations.

Having witnessed the effects of mental illness within my own family, I approach my work with empathy, insight, and a strong commitment to helping patients feel supported throughout their journey.

I value open, honest, and ongoing dialogue about how mental health treatment can improve wellbeing and lead to healing. Over time, I tailor treatment recommendations based on individual needs, which may include medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or other approaches. I avoid a one-size-fits-all model and work to create an environment where patients feel respected, understood, and supported as unique individuals. In the first meeting, I work to understand each patient's goals, experiences, and preferences. Some arrive knowing what they want, while others are new to exploring mental health challenges. My goal is to meet patients where they are and adjust treatment focus as needs evolve. I emphasize collaborative decision-making, clearly discussing treatment options, pros and cons, and next steps, while ensuring patients feel informed and empowered throughout care.

I attended the Ohio State University College of Medicine, where I received my degree, before completing a residency in psychiatry at the University of Illinois, Chicago. After several years working with veterans at the Jesse Brown VA in Chicago, I returned to my home state of Iowa in 2022. Since then, I have continued to work with a wide variety of clients and conditions in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including at the University of Iowa and Clive Behavioral Health hospital.

I believe in a patient-centered approach that combines careful assessment, evidence-based treatment, and individualized care. I work with each patient to create a personalized plan that addresses both immediate needs and long-term goals. By integrating psychiatric expertise with compassion and collaboration, I empower patients to take an active role in their mental health journey.

During your first visit, you can expect a thorough and compassionate evaluation in a warm, supportive environment where you will feel heard and respected.

New patients can expect me to respect their time and autonomy while working together to establish shared treatment goals. I value open candor and punctuality, aiming to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in mutual trust, transparency, and collaboration. During the first visit, I take a comprehensive history and background to determine if the therapeutic relationship is the right fit for both patient and provider. Ongoing care typically involves monthly appointments for medication management until stability is achieved, after which visits may shift to quarterly follow-ups. This structured yet flexible approach supports continuity and long-term well-being.

I completed undergraduate studies, medical school, and psychiatry residency training at Saint Louis University. Following training, I joined the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I provided care in an outpatient setting with both telehealth and in-person services. This experience has given me a strong clinical background and a dedication to supporting patients through accessible and personalized psychiatric care.

My clinical approach is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, and I continually expand my knowledge by incorporating tools from a variety of therapeutic modalities. I am fascinated with the connectedness of the conscious and subconscious mind, body, and spirit, and I approach treatment through the lens of a growth mindset. I prioritize creating a safe space where patients can strengthen their courage to be vulnerable and authentic. I view therapy as a journey of helping patients explore their inner world, where I act as a mirror in order for patients to gain insight into their motivations, patterns, values, and higher purpose.

I prefer knowing my patients on a deep level and highly value the therapeutic process, which requires patience over speed. I acknowledge that it takes many sessions before even a preliminary understanding of the human being in front of me can be formulated. I honor the truth that my patients are the experts of themselves, and I prefer empowering them over micromanagement. As subconscious patterns emerge, I highlight these, as they are often blind spots to the patient. I understand that when it comes to mental health, quick fixes are not the most appropriate or effective means to healing. However, I respect the use of medications when indicated in addition to talk therapy.

I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and encourage honest exploration of symptoms and underlying patterns. I value authenticity, curiosity, and respect for each patient's unique experiences. While symptom relief is important, my goal is to foster self-understanding and long-term growth. My expertise spans medication management, supportive therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, and I work best with patients open to collaboration and motivated for change, whether through medication management, therapy, or both.

I begin with a consultation phase to ensure a good fit, listening carefully to understand each patient's challenges and goals. Together, my patients and I build a working alliance by clarifying difficulties, identifying realistic changes, and exploring deeper patterns. When appropriate, I prescribe medication thoughtfully, aiming to support therapy rather than replace it. Each session integrates supportive and psychodynamic elements, combining medication review with therapeutic dialogue. Treatment plans are regularly revisited, allowing flexibility and growth, with the ultimate aim of empowering patients toward lasting change.

Typically, I offer this in conjunction with supportive or emotionally focused therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. However, occasionally I may believe that additional therapy is also needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome.

I believe that psychiatry should start with a thorough assessment to arrive at an accurate diagnosis, followed by a discussion with the patient of the different evidence-based options available, and then shared decision-making to arrive at an effective treatment plan to achieve the goals that the patient identifies as being important. This should be done in an honest, open, non-judgmental, but realistic environment, with the understanding that the ultimate goal is to get the patient to a position where they will no longer need medication and/or therapy.
