I earned my medical degree from the University of Iowa and did post-graduate training in psychiatry at the University of Washington. While my credentials form the foundation of my practice, I believe my greatest strength arises from first-hand life lessons. Having emerged and grown from my own difficulties, I look forward to helping you do the same.

I have a deep connection to the recovery community, with extensive experience as a group facilitator and consultant. No matter what stage of the process you are in, you can rely on me for understanding, empowerment, and support.
