Summary

  • I am a board certified psychiatrist who came to medicine as a second career.
    My first profession was as an ordained Episcopal priest. At age 50 I started medical school with hopes of becoming a psychiatrist after losing a loved one to suicide.
    I am absolutely committed to living and helping others to live and attain the most abundant life possible. I believe this comes through balancing our physical, mental, and spiritual health.
