Life can be hard. I am here to not only help you with things that are wrong, but to set you up for a future of health, longevity and happiness. As a board-certified psychiatrist and board-eligible addiction medicine specialist, I find immense fulfillment in guiding patients to meet their goals.

My approach is integrative - standard of care psychiatry augmented with evidence informed alternative and holistic treatments (nutritional psychiatry, solution-focused therapy, exercise) so that you can achieve the best outcome possible. Often my clients have not responded to previous treatments and are seeking alternative options.

If you are looking to live a healthier, happier, longer life - please reach out to me.

When I work with clients struggling with addiction, my goal is to help free them from the shame, guilt, and self-blame many people with addiction experience. Addiction is the result of a substance high-jacking brain circuitry that has helped humans survive for millennia, it is not a character flaw.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Mindfulness-Based (MBCT)
Motivational Interviewing

I often use cognitive behavioral therapy, which has the best evidence of being successful. This type of therapy helps the patient recognize maladaptive thought patterns and assists the patient in challenging these negative thoughts to create healthier thought patterns.
