My Background and Approach
What clients should know about me I am a board-certified Stanford trained adult psychiatrist in practice for over 45 years. I provide compassionate, empathic and knowledge based care. Together, we will gain insight and knowledge about you and where your strengths and conflicts may be. Each person comes with a unique background and through this perspective, I will work with you to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. It is important to understand you as a whole person so that I can provide you with the most up-to-date treatment recommendations. My areas of specialty include mood disorders, depression, anxiety, relationship issues. I am a board-certified psychiatrist who values careful listening, thoughtful evaluation, and a steady therapeutic relationship. I take my work seriously and approach treatment with respect for each person’s individuality, history, and lived experience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My approach to providing care I practice psychiatry and psychotherapy with the belief that meaningful change comes from understanding—not just managing—symptoms. My work is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to the individual rather than driven by a one-size-fits-all model. I take time to understand each person’s history, inner world, relationships, and life context. Together, we explore patterns that may be contributing to distress while building insight, emotional resilience, and more effective ways of coping. I value a therapeutic relationship that is steady, respectful, and psychologically safe, as this forms the foundation for real and lasting change. My approach integrates careful diagnostic evaluation, evidence-based treatment, and depth-oriented psychotherapy. When medication is part of treatment, it is used judiciously and thoughtfully, always in service of the broader therapeutic goals. I emphasize clarity, continuity, and personal meaning.
