"I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time."

Experience:
I am a Medical Doctor with Speciality training in Psychiatry and Neurology. Experience matters. As a student, I trained in 2
of the busiest inner city medical communities in the world, during the AIDS crisis: New York City, and San Francisco. This was a unique time of fast paced learning for the medical profession, much like Covid was just a few years ago.
I was also on the front lines of our country's response to 9/11, caring for veterans returning home from the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, at the VA hospital in Denver. I am committed to my work in helping patients. During the worst of the Covid pandemic,
my office was open, as I continued seeing patients in person with precautions, and using telehealth for those too ill to come in person.
Summary:
I have worked with many people, from all walks of life and all gender identifications, from teenage to elderly, for over 35 years.
My interest in providing the most comprehensive care led to study and certifications in EMDR and Reiki healing, along with a deep dive into genetic vulnerabilities to illness, which is why I may recommend genetic testing for you.
I currently provide long term treatment for women with a history of trauma. In addition, I am available for consultation to those who may benefit. I endorse proven traditional and alternative healing methods, and I am a medical scientist at heart. I follow the data, guided by my clinical experience.

As a former athlete, I appreciate being both active and reflective. I practice yoga, enjoy swimming, gardening, hiking, cooking for family, meditation, learning about ancient civilizations, writing.
