Together, we will find your North Star.

Psychiatry works best when there is time — time to listen, time to think, and time to get it right. At North Star Psychiatry, I work with a small number of patients by design. No rushing through a 15-minute appointment. No waiting months for a follow-up. Just careful, unhurried care from a physician who knows you well and is invested in where you are going.

North Star Psychiatry was born out of a conviction that patients deserve better than the standard model of care. After training at some of the country's leading institutions and working across settings from academic medicine to community psychiatry, I built this practice to do things differently — fewer patients, deeper relationships, and the space to actually think.

The name is intentional. A north star does not move. It orients. That is what I try to be for the people I work with.

Why choose us

  • Psychiatry is not one-size-fits-all. I take the time to understand not just your symptoms, but the life around them — your history, your relationships, your patterns of thinking and feeling. Drawing on both psychoanalytic depth and evidence-based medicine, I work with each patient to develop a treatment plan that is thoughtful, individualized, and built to last.

  • Warmth, expertise, and collaboration — in equal measure. I believe the best psychiatric care happens in a relationship where you feel genuinely known, not just assessed. I bring rigorous training and clinical depth to every appointment, but I also bring curiosity about you as a person.
