About Me
As a Stanford-trained board certified psychiatrist with over 25 years of clinical experience, I tailor my therapeutic approach to the individual's particular needs and goals. Psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness based approaches are all used, along with medication. I treat mood disorders, anxiety, relationship problems, women's issues, disordered eating, sport performance, as well as adjustments such as divorce, loss, medical problems, career changes. Medication is best managed in the context of a psychotherapeutic relationship. I strongly believe in the role lifestyle and physical health can play on emotional health, and I incorporate these principles into my therapy practice.
As a pioneer in digital health, I have helped develop evidence based health care technologies that optimize patient engagement and clinical outcome, helping patients track their progress and define success in their treatment. I have served as the on-site psychiatrist at Facebook headquarters.
My passions are excellence in patient care, endurance exercise, and spending time in nature. In my spare time, I can be found trail running, on my bike, or telemark skiing.
