My focus primarily is helping patients with treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. Listening is a very important first step. I am here to witness patient stories and help assess what treatment route is best for you. My goal for each patient is to have them leave feeling better than when they walked in. I want every patient to feel supported and know that I will not give up on them.

Psychiatrist, MD, PhD

My ideal patient is one who is willing and motivated to work together with me, as a team, to help figure out what is contributing to their struggles and how to work through it. It's frequently an iterative process whereby we make progress together over time. Sometimes it seems relatively simple, but frequently it's not. The keys are to keep going, to keep working at it, to never give up, to not shy away from complexity, and to be willing to begin anywhere. The wisdom of knowing when to keep working at solving a problem vs when to work towards acceptance is only achieved through our authentic best efforts over time.
