About Me
In my free time, I enjoy cycling, lifting weights, board games, playing guitar, and spending time with my wife and cats.
Care Philosophy
Psychiatric treatment must be collaborative between the patient and the physician. I strive to elicit feedback from patients to assure I am gathering the whole picture and not missing pertinent details from the patient's history. I will also ask about feedback regarding treatment and rapport. Istrongly believes in behavioral modification with cognitive behavioral therapy approaches in addition to medication management.

My interests include cognitive behavioral therapy, at-risk patient population, addiction medicine, and anxiety and depressive disorders.

I was chief resident and earned Resident of the Year.
