I was interested in becoming a neurologist because I loved learning about the brain. But in residency training, the realities of medicine became clearer; medicine is not practiced in a vacuum but within a system and most of the medical system is algorithmic, psychiatry is not.
I am a psychiatrist who provides psychotherapy and medication management for adults. I graduated from Rush Medical University in Chicago and completed a psychosomatic fellowship at Mount Sinai in New York. I worked at Columbia Medical Cente before starting my practice.
I believe that all persons are inherently whole and worthy. If a client is willing, we peel back the layers of life experiences that hinder the realization of oneself as worthy. When I work with a client, my first priority is to be curious and understand the mind before me.
