I’m a board-certified psychiatrist offering personalized psychiatric care to a small panel of patients in Northern Virginia and Washington, DC. What sets me apart is my physician training, option for in-person visits, unhurried appointments, and years of experience. The care I provide is evidence based, holistic, and thorough. I have clinical interests in OCD, anxiety, depression, and ADD but am skilled in diagnosing and treating the full range of psychiatric conditions. Together, we'll address distressing thoughts and emotions and align your actions with your values. Our work may include strategic medication management, careful consideration of underlying medical factors, and integration of proven therapeutic approaches.

I am a proud Minnesota native and earned both my bachelor’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities. After medical school I came to DC for my psychiatry residency, which I completed at the George Washington University. After residency, I worked in public service within the Inova Health System and for Fairfax County for many years. In those roles, I cared for patients in inpatient and outpatient settings as well as partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. As a result, I grew into a well-rounded, seasoned clinician. Outside of work, I find joy in life’s simple pleasures—slow mornings at home, discovering global flavors, savoring a cappuccino from a local coffee shop.
