I strongly believe the key to being an effective and present provider is taking care of myself the way I advocate for my patients to take care of themselves.

My overall approach is anchored in the psychodynamically- and trauma-informed self-care regimen I have developed for myself over the years.  This regimen, based in mindfulness and acceptance, allows me to be open to many different diagnostic and treatment approaches. It creates a sense of gratitude for the honor of being part of a patient’s journey.
