If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who listens to you, who is respectful the human rights and dignity of minorities, women and LGBTQ+ people, who enjoys helping people with autism, ADHD, bipolar, PTSD, developmental and complex trauma, ME-CFS and other chronic developmental or medical conditions, who offers evidence based care while being open to your experiences with complimentary and alternative treatments, who empowers you with quality information to make the best choices for you personally, we may be a good fit. I offer in-person Ketamine Assisted Therapy at your home or therapist's office in northeast TN and southwest VA.
I am a board certified Psychiatrist and I also proudly treat people with addictions. I work mostly by telehealth across VA and TN and I conduct home visits as needed, for example to provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in NE TN and SW VA. If you don't require medication management, I offer as-needed consultations.
I offer 90 minute intake appointments within two weeks. If you don't have insurance, that's OK - I bill patients directly for a monthly membership that covers up to half an hour of consultation time per month. If you do have insurance, you can submit a superbill for reimbursement after each visit.

I aim to help patients function on the lowest adequate dose of medication. I happily help patients stop medications after chronic conditions have resolved through talk therapy, nutrition, activity, and intentionally growing purpose, meaning and connection. For people recovering from Opioid Use Disorder, I do not pressure patients to stop taking medication assisted treatment at any time.

I trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and other Mindfulness techniques. I pursue Internal Family Systems in my own therapy, and as I learn more about that approach, I like to gauge my patients' interest in speaking from the experiences of their inner parts. I am also influenced by Carl Jung and others that I integrate into my eclectic approach.
