I am a double board-certified psychiatrist treating children, adolescents, adults and perinatal clients with a holistic and integrative approach. I provide compassionate, personalized, patient-centered care. As a physician and psychotherapist, I listen closely and address the complex relationship between physical and psychological health. I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy, integrative psychiatry, trauma, LGBTQIA+, teens, reproductive and perinatal psychiatry.
Integrative psychiatry may include psychotherapy, evidenced-based medication, trauma treatment, nutrition, supplements, herbal medicine, meditation & more. With children and teens, I work closely with parents. I offer holistic perinatal psychiatry. I provide psychotherapy or happily collaborate with a client's current therapist.
I'm experienced and value working with diverse racial, cultural and social backgrounds. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming.
