Not accepting new clients (updated February 2024). I'm a psychiatrist (MD) who likes seeing the big picture. Whether you're looking for help managing your medications, engaging in psychotherapy, or something else, I'd be delighted to support you. I believe finding a psychiatrist shouldn't be as hard as it is, so I left my job in "corporate" healthcare so I could set up my own clinic and make it easier to do the thing I most love doing: connecting with my patients.
