My Biography
Welcome to my homepage. A healthy body and mind is a work in progress, and I believe that growth and transformation is possible for all of us. Finding the best fit when searching for a therapist can be challenging, but not impossible. A good connection with a therapist makes it possible to safely address and work through painful patterns and struggles.
As a clinician in adult psychiatry, my areas of interest include brief therapy, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and working with the LGBTQ population. While my approach is psychodynamic, I incorporate both cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral modalities in my practice. Currently, in addition to seeing adult individuals and couples, I run three groups in our department. My tips for thriving - there is only one you! Be compassionate, be loving and never, never give up.
In my daily life, I aim for a balanced lifestyle. When away from the medical center, I like to explore the city on foot, visit the local farmer’s market on a regular basis, cook, watch independent films, travel and spend time with friends, family, and our rescue dog, Mahal. I walk to work every day, try to go to the gym three times a week, and don’t own a television.

Disclaimer
If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
