I am a psychiatrist based in Seattle, WA, offering integrated mental health care for adults that thoughtfully combines medication management and psychotherapy. Before entering the medical field, my background encompassed extensive work in dance, fashion, and the service industry, paired with time spent living across the United States and internationally.
These diverse life experiences deeply shape my humanistic approach to psychiatry, allowing me to cultivate an atmosphere of warmth, empathy, and trust where you can share your experiences without fear of judgment. Recognizing that many people have had difficult experiences with therapy or psychiatric care in the past, my priority is to walk alongside each patient to build a truly positive, collaborative therapeutic experience.
My clinical background is rooted in comprehensive training and dedicated academic service. I earned my BA in Sociology from Hunter College in New York, NY before completing my MD at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, DC, where I was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. I went on to complete my psychiatry residency at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA, where I earned an Area of Distinction in Advanced Psychotherapy, served as Chief Resident, and received the Outstanding Chief Resident Award.
Today, alongside my private practice, I serve as Courtesy Faculty in the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry, where I mentor and supervise psychiatry residents.
