After completing medical school at Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis in 1999, I pursued my residency training in Adult Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. Since that time, I have practiced for over 20 years in private, public, and academic settings. Prior to my current practice established in 2015, I spent several years on faculty at MD Anderson Cancer Center and UT/Memorial Hermann Hospital developing my subspecialty in medical and cancer psychiatry. I am board certified in Adult Psychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

To allow for greater time during office visits, I am out-of-network with all insurance plans. l can provide a statement after each visit for out-of-network insurance reimbursement if offered by your plan. Initial consultation is $400, and follow up sessions are $300-350 depending on the duration and frequency of visits.
