Biography: I am a graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. I completed my Psychiatry Residency at Henry Ford Hospital, where I served as chief resident. In addition, I completed a Medical Leadership Fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital, and an Electroconvulsive Therapy Visiting Fellowship at Duke University. I am general psychiatrist who treats adults with a variety of mental health disorders. I strive for balance in your treatment plan, including medication management and psychotherapy. Coordination of care and continuity of care are very important to me. I will often contact your other health care providers as needed, in order to provide you with the highest level of care. I encourage you to take an active role in your health, and will always involve you in making decisions about your treatment plan.

Care Philosophy: In Austin, I have held board positions with Pregnancy & Postpartum Health Alliance of Texas, the Austin Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology, and Austin Psychiatric Society. I enjoy being outdoors, especially hiking, camping, and skiing, and flee to the mountains as often as possible. I always have at least one or two knitting or crocheting projects going, and I usually have a couple of books I am reading as well (rather, I listen to audible books).
