Every person has a story worth understanding.
I am a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist in private practice in Denver. I work with children, teenagers and adults through psychiatric evaluation, psychotherapy and medication management.
My approach begins with understanding the person before reducing the problem to a diagnosis. Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, inattention, impulsivity or difficulty at school, work or in relationships rarely exist in isolation. Development, temperament, family, relationships, experience, expectations and the meaning a person makes of what has happened to them all matter.

Our clinic treats ages 5 & up. Sessions are conducted virtually (using a HIPAA compliant platform). We understand that medication management is not the only solution. The lifestyle that precipitated the stress response in the first plans needs to change. In addition to psychotherapy and medication management, we place high regards for modalities such as weight management, medical management, exercise, and sleep hygiene to combat the body’s inflammatory response, which exacerbates mental illness. We aim to uses the lowest effective dose and help people to eventually not depend on medication.

I am a board certified psychiatrist currently accepting new patients. My practice is strictly through the use of telepsychiatry which means that all appointments will be held via HIPAA compliant video conferencing software. Many patients prefer this means of treatment as appointments can be done from the comfort of your home or office without the need for lengthy commutes or waiting rooms and it provides access to mental health treatment to patients located in more remote locations. I treat adult (18+) patients located in Colorado, Texas and Washington State though controlled substance prescribing may only be done in Colorado.

I work holistically with adults and children who want to understand what's driving their symptoms and how to address them at the root. Many of the people I work with are looking for appointments that leave them with real clarity — not just a diagnosis and a prescription, but a genuine understanding of what's going on and why. They want a provider who takes the time to understand their full picture: their history, their relationships, their habits, and their goals.

Why might athletes seek psychiatric care?
Achieving peak performance in sports and managing the psychological demands of performing under pressure can lead many athletes to pursue mental health support as part of their overall training plan. Common mental challenges faced by competitive athletics include performance anxiety, fear of failure, and coping with injuries or setbacks. These psychological stressors can significantly impact both athletic performance and overall well-being. Psychiatrists can serve as valuable members of an athlete's care team to help address these mental health concerns that directly affect performance and an athlete's personal life. While athletes may see sports medicine doctors for physical injuries, many turn to psychiatrists for performance-related anxiety, depression following injuries or poor performance, eating disorders related to weight management, and other mental health conditions that can interfere with their athletic goals.
How do psychiatrists support athletes?
Psychiatrists who specialize in sports performance have a thorough understanding of the unique pressures of athletics, along with an understanding of the need for coordination between multiple professionals on an athlete's care team. In some cases, they may prescribe medications to manage symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like anxiety or depression, but they are also knowledgable about how these treatments might affect athletic performance, drug testing requirements, and training schedules. In many cases, they will also help athletes develop coping strategies to help manage performance-related stress, such as through behavioral therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based practices.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in sports performance?
The Psychology Today directory is a helpful tool to find psychiatrists who specialize in sports performance. Using its filters, clients can search for providers with relevant expertise in sports, or by specific conditions that may be of interest, such as anxiety. When meeting with potential psychiatrists, consider asking about their experience working with athletes specifically, their approach to counseling, and how they coordinate care with other professionals, such as psychologists and sports medicine doctors. It's also important to consider practical factors, such as whether appointments are offered in person or via telehealth and whether the provider accepts your insurance.
