Have you wondered about different ways to think about your symptoms? Or whether or not your medication(s) is helping?

As a psychiatrist who specializes in de-prescribing medications, I will help you think critically about the role of medications and diagnostic labels. I often recommend safely and slowly tapering medications while exploring internal narratives (the way we talk to ourselves), defining personal values, and/or finding clarity to make lifestyle goals that are meaningful to you. I often emphasize social connections and the importance of love in our lives.

Outside of work I am usually found with my two young kids. I enjoy spending time outside, hanging out with family and friends, adventuring around Madison, swimming, playing ultimate frisbee, doing yoga, gardening, and biking.

Clinical Approach

I strive to create a safe and warm space where you can better understand and empathize with yourself. This will be through psychotherapy in a variety of forms and our shared management of medications, often with the goal of minimizing and tapering medications.

“In my early professional years, I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?” ― Carl R. Rogers
