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. During initial sessions, I take time to understand each patient's history, concerns, and goals, and I use a team-based approach, partnering with patients in treatment planning and decision-making to ensure care is both effective and aligned with their values.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist with over three decades of experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I earned my medical degree from the University of Alabama School of Medicine and completed my psychiatry residency at University Hospital. 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.

I believe psychiatry combines science and the art of medicine. I treat both adults and children/adolescents, with expertise in psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, addiction, geriatrics, and dual-diagnosis care. I am trained in TMS and ECT, am a Certified Suboxone Prescriber, and offer consultations and treatment through office-based or telemedicine visits. My approach is tailored to each patient's needs, integrating compassionate care with evidence-based treatment.

I acknowledge the many choices patients have in providers and strive to create a welcoming, collaborative, and supportive environment for everyone seeking care. Patients value my professionalism, patience, empathy, and attentive listening.

Before pursuing medicine, I explored a range of passions. After earning dual degrees in Biology and Biochemistry from the University of California, Riverside, I opened a popular Riverside eatery featured on The Food Channel. I later transitioned to the IT industry, earning a master's degree and certifications, before answering my true calling in medicine, graduating from Saint Matthews University School of Medicine.

I value open communication and a collaborative approach, creating a warm, supportive environment where patients feel heard and respected. I integrate psychopharmacology and psychotherapy to help patients work toward clear treatment goals, while fostering a growth- and strengths-based perspective. I specialize in perinatal and reproductive psychiatry, supporting patients through pregnancy, postpartum, PMS, infertility, and perimenopause/menopause, as well as mood, anxiety, trauma-related, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I begin by thoroughly understanding each patient's history, concerns, and goals, develop individualized treatment plans aligned with these goals, and regularly reassess progress to refine strategies as needed, ensuring care is responsive, personalized, and effective.

I am board-certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. I earned my medical degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School and completed residency at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. I have extensive experience in private practice, academic leadership, and faculty roles, with expertise in treating diverse adult populations.

I also draw on a wide range of interests, from medical science to psychology and history, to enrich patient education.

I offer psychiatric medication management while also incorporating elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, internal family systems, and lifestyle interventions. I believe that every patient is unique, and I work to create a supportive environment where individuals feel heard and empowered in their care. Grounded in the biopsychosocial model, I take a collaborative, patient-centered approach, partnering with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that integrate biological, psychological, and social factors, with the goal of guiding them along their path to improved wellness.

I am a Psychiatrist in Colorado practicing since 2023. I completed my MD and Adult Psychiatry Residency at the Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University and earned my BA in Neuroscience at Skidmore College. I have experience managing a broad array of complex psychiatric diagnoses in patients of diverse socioeconomic, cultural, and clinical backgrounds.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, playing guitar, reading, and collecting board games.
