WELCOME. While a healthy mind can weather the stresses of our environment, mental illness  can shatter that capacity. It can disturb our thoughts, unbalance our behaviors, and destabilize our lives. With peace in our minds, we can gain peace in our bodies and typically, our lives follow suit.

As a board-certified psychiatrist, my goal is to provide thorough, empathetic, and evidence-based psychiatric care. While medication can be helpful in some situations, it may be less effective in others. Working with each person individually, and using a variety of modalities where appropriate—psychotherapy, stress-reducing behavioral techniques and herbal supplements among them—we will rebuild and strengthen the foundation for a peaceful mind. I believe that this integrative approach allows for a more durable recovery—as opposed to a quick fix—and sets the stage for a long-term healing process and recovery.
