My clients tell me I am a good listener and provide an atmosphere of empathy. I strive to work with my client in finding solutions for their concerns and provide a collaborative approach. I aim to also incorporate several non-medication interventions to promote overall wellbeing. I have a firm belief that chronic mental health disorders do not vary from chronic physical health conditions, in that both require a combination of treatments. Any health condition is best treated with both environmental and behavioral changes and medications used as a supportive treatment.

My experience includes treating adolescents and adults in the inpatient, residential, private practice, emergency department, and outpatient settings. My approach to psychiatric and medication management services is holistic in nature. Although I offer treatment to a wide variety of mental health disorders, I specialize in psychiatric treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. When appropriate, I apply cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy skills to medication management services.

I specialize in psychoanalysis, an intensive, in-depth form of psychotherapy for people who are confronting repetitive and confusing patterns in life preventing them from living more fully. My approach involves careful listening and responsiveness to your unique mind and a sharing of your curiosity and commitment to deeper self-understanding and progressive freedom.

Are you experiencing distress due to internal conflicts, trauma, relationships, fears, or feeling stuck? Do you feel anxious, depressed, and unmotivated? Some things are just too difficult to go through alone. Working with someone in a safe and compassionate environment without judgment can be the key to your understanding and growth. Your success and happiness are rooted in a partnership that we share. You do the hard part of being vulnerable; to the best of my ability, I will work to listen to and understand you, before developing a shared treatment plan. I am honored to support you on your journey to mental wellness.

I help adults understand and change long-standing patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that cause them to feel stuck in their professional, personal and/or family life. Feelings of anxiety or depression can arise from, or at least are made worse by, underlying issues that have never been explored or addressed. I believe that understanding and working through these issues allow a greater freedom from the past and help people to live more fully.

I believe that each of us has the capacity for growth and live by the motto that “where there is breath, there is hope.” I have a passion for helping people who are working to overcome mental health issues and specialize in helping multiple age groups.

I am especially interested in the care of persons from other cultural traditions, an outgrowth of many years of clinical and research involvement with refugees from Southeast Asia, and particularly Vietnam. Prior to entering medicine, I served as a Captain in the US Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. It was that experience that stimulated my interest in both medicine and cross-cultural psychiatry.
