I'm a Stanford trained, board certified psychiatrist. I serve individuals grappling with the stresses of modern life: anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts via therapy & medication management. In psychotherapy we explore underlying causes of suffering. Through talk therapy we uncover unexamined thoughts, feelings, and ways of being that can undermine your life. We explore root causes of suffering to increase self-awareness, improve relationships, and attain lasting emotional change. Through insight you'll discover new ways of thinking and being that lead you to a more fulfilling, authentic, joyful, & meaningful life.
I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and creativity. I'm an artist and author of The Adjacent Possible and The Artist's Journey self-help books. My goal is to help you move past emotional suffering and what is troubling you and move toward articulating and creating your most fulfilling, loving, and meaningful life.
Finding the right therapist is important. We can get on a call to see if I can be of help. I offer regularly scheduled sessions (50 min) for individuals, creating a safe space for you. I've supported people in talk therapy for 3 decades: young adults, parents, scientists, professors, doctors, VCs, CEOs, inventors, creatives, and entrepreneurs.

As a physician, I've trained in psychiatry, internal medicine, and radiology. I'm especially interested in how your inner life—your psychology—affects your life, relationships, and health. I help patients via psychotherapy (and medication, if needed) who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship issues, move from suffering to healing.
