What sets me apart from other providers? I am a board-certified MD psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. You will get a provider with the most advanced and extensive training available in mental health. I am in this for the long term with you. Having practiced for over 15 years, I have seen patients from early life all the way through the dying process. I even sat with a patient in her home on the day she died, providing mental health support. I take time to listen to you, to understand your story and what makes you unique. In my eyes, you are a person, not a checklist, and you have many complexities.
My work spans academic medicine, psychoanalysis, and innovative neuromodulation. I serve as a Clinical Instructor at the University of Washington, Harborview Medical Center, and I am the TMS Program Director at the Center for Anxiety & Depression. I trained at the Mayo Clinic, the University of Washington, and the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society & Institute.
I bring expertise in psychoanalysis, TMS, and emergency psychiatry. I work with mood, anxiety, trauma, and complex presentations. I have published peer-reviewed articles in Anatomical Sciences Education and Academic Psychiatry. I have presented nationally and internationally, and I am recognized for excellence in teaching and clinical leadership.
