Therapy is a path to true awareness of self

Let’s embark on this journey of helping you find what brings you the most meaning, joy and purpose in your life. It is a pleasure to be allowed to help patients in this search for wellness in their lives. I enjoy working with successful professionals, physicians, mothers, healthcare professionals, working parents, teachers and graduate students. I also have extensive experience in assisting post partum women with anxiety and mood conditions. We will work together to help you find more balance in your life. Common concerns treated include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder/social phobia, grief, perimenopause and post menopause anxiety and depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), performance anxiety, nutrition and weight issues, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), recurrent depression, adjustment disorders, relationship problems, mood disorders, post partum anxiety and post partum depression. My goal is to help you live your life to the fullest and this is often a process of incorporating psychotherapy, improving nutrition and other lifestyle modifications and if needed, medication.

Let’s work together to find the origin of what may be creating obstacles between you and your greatest hopes and dreams for yourself.

In college at the University of Colorado at Boulder, I enjoyed integrating the arts and sciences with a degree in biochemistry and a minor in philosophy and I believe that psychiatry is an amazing combination of both the art and science of practicing medicine.

I’ve always been drawn to the complexities of the resilience of the mind and soul. I started medical school with the intention of specializing in oncology but realized that the depth of human emotion and experience is what I was most passionate about as well as the fascinating aspects of pharmacology and neurobiology.

I completed residency in Psychiatry at the University of Vermont and am thankful to have had the opportunity to be a part of the community that is Vermont. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I also have extensive training and experience in psychopharmacology and many years of treating depression, mood and anxiety conditions. After residency I was on faculty at Cornell Medical College/New York Presbyterian Hospital on the inpatient psychiatric Women’s Unit and had a psychodynamic and mindfulness therapy focused outpatient practice in Manhattan. Since 2015 I have cared for thousands of patients at Kaiser Permanente and specialized in Sonoma County and San Francisco on psychopharmacology/medication management, women’s mental health and post-partum care, goal focused psychotherapy and assisting patients with improving nutrition and lifestyle modifications in outpatient practice.
