About My Clients
You are tired. Tired of feeling stuck, tired of knowing that you need help and tired of trying to white-knuckle the day to day. You know you need and deserve support and you may have even considered going to a psychiatrist in the past but you are so scared they are going to automatically prescribe you meds without really getting to know you and your needs. At Beyond Psychiatry, you will get the support and care that you need in a collaborative and convenient way that works for YOU.
My Background and Approach
I offer a different approach to psychiatry. I work towards health instead of maintenance of disease that is so common in traditional, medication-focused medical practices. While I can prescribe meds, I focus on a collaborative, health-centered process, one in which we are a team not just doctor and patient. I also offer virtual appointments for CA residents. When you work with me, you can expect a nurturing, supportive and convenient environment! I offer 24/7 online scheduling, a secure client portal, and the ability to work with me in-person or virtually no matter where you live in California. I make it as easy and convenient as possible for you to get the help and support you deserve. Reach out today!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m not the typical psychiatrist. I offer virtual appointments. I’m holistic, both in the way I practice medicine and in my personal life. I’m from New Jersey. I have tattoos. I play Dungeons and Dragons. I occasionally swear (if the occasion calls for it). I use humor in my sessions (if the occasion calls for it). I’m a feminist, I’m staunchly anti-racist and a supporter and ally of LGBTQ+ rights and am a defender of intersectional communities. I am empathic and caring and also authentic. I have a rebellious streak. I have struggled in my life with anxiety and being highly sensitive but now view it as my superpower as it informs me in my work and my life and it also humbles me. I met my husband at a National Organization of Women meeting 25 years ago at Rutgers University. I am a mother. I do yoga, although not as much as I’d like. I know what it’s like to juggle home and career and health/wellness.
