Summary

  • I am a board-certifiied psychiatrist with a long-standing solo private practice, now exclusively outpatient. I attended medical school at UCSF, completed a med-surg internship at California Pacific Medical Center, and did my residency at Stanford, where I served as chief resident in 1990-1991.

    I also earned a Ph.D from the UC Santa Cruz History of Consciousness Program where my research focused on human evolution.
    A student of Anthropsophy, I aim to integrate it’s principles into my healing practice.

    I have special expertise in pschopharmacology and in legal issues related to competency and undue influence.
