Professional Statement

As an integrative psychiatrist, I believe in treating the whole person and that a variety of treatment modalities and traditions can be leveraged to best support an individual in their health and healing. Providing a trauma-informed, warm, affirming space is an important aspect of my practice. I enjoy working with adults across the age spectrum, and have a specialized affinity for working with LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, trauma-impacted, veteran, and senior individuals and individuals with disabilities.
