Psychiatrist, MD

As an adult psychiatrist I focus on treating individuals who have difficulties with depression,anxiety, as well as their ability to concentrate. My goal is to understand my patients and, in turn, help them understand themselves. I also understand that there is often a substantial waiting time , sometimes several weeks, in order to meet with the person you are hoping can help your situation become better. That points to a need for sooner initial evaluation appointment times and is why I aim to see new patients within one week.

I respect all views on the topic of psychiatric medications and place the utmost importance on client autonomy and decision-making. I am here to let you know what your options are, but you make the decisions. Side effects are a real concern, and should not be ignored. It is your quality of life; the choices should be yours too. I have always worked in close collaboration with clients’ therapists and respected their decisions around whether they choose to pursue therapy in conjunction with medications, or not. I offer telehealth sessions (only) with evening hours available, and weekend hours by request.

I have always had a strong interest in bio-psycho-social-spiritual aspects of psychiatry, and have always seen healing from a holistic perspective. Psychiatry is a unique field in medicine that allows me the time to really know my patients, and help them to grow in positive ways, using many tools. I hope to be able to bring much life experience, artistic and spiritual background, as well as professional experience, to my work as a physician.

A valued mentor once said to me, “Sometimes we can save the whole world but we can’t find our own way out of a paper bag.” He was commenting on the situation we humans find ourselves in when dealing with overwhelming worry, loss or trauma. On the surface, some people appear to have it all, but many are silently suffering on the inside. One of the biggest challenges we humans face is recognizing when we are stuck in a pattern of dysfunctional behavior. One of the subsequent challenges after that is asking for professional help to navigate a way out of that dysfunctional space.
