You may be functioning on the surface — but something underneath feels off, restless, or no longer aligned. You might never have quite fit in the box, or you’re starting to question a life that once made sense. I work with people at this kind of turning point, when an old identity or way of being is loosening and something deeper is asking for attention. Together, we make sense of what’s happening internally and help you move toward greater clarity, aliveness, and confidence, using therapy, coaching, and — when useful — medication to create space for change.
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist with broad roots — former acupuncturist, decades-long meditator, and deep believer in the powers of the heart. I offer IFS-informed therapy, Integral Coaching, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and judicious use of medications. I bring lived experience to affirming care for transgender, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA people.
My style is warm and down-to-earth. I listen carefully and work collaboratively, respecting both your complexity and your pace. I help you come into clearer relationship with your experience and move toward a life that feels more easeful, authentic, and your own. If something here resonates, reach out for a consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
