Thank for visiting my practice website.  I am a board-certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist with over 30 years experience.  I work with adult and late adolescent individuals.  My practice is currently closed to any new additions to my caseload.

In addition to my clinical practice, I teach behavioral science to medical trainees in family medicine at the Stanford/O’Connor Family Medicine Residency Program, an affiliate of the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Stanford; and write on mindfulness and other medical topics. You find find links to information on those aspects of my work here and here, as well as in the links above.

I approach patient care by not only addressing vulnerabilities but also working with my patients to identify and build upon their strengths. The overarching goal is emotional resilience and a healthy, centered life.
