Where I practice
About me
I found medicine through art. Growing up in South Florida, I loved the images in my science textbooks and was fascinated by the intersection of science, people, and creativity. I studied art history at Yale before pursuing medicine, and psychiatry felt like a natural fit - a specialty centered on understanding and caring for the whole person.
I completed my psychiatry residency at Emory University and then spent more than a decade practicing addiction medicine with Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. I am happy to have returned to Georgia and to Kaiser Permanente.
One of the things I value most about psychiatry is helping people better understand themselves, find hope, and create lives that feel meaningful to them.
About my practice
My goal is for patients to feel comfortable speaking openly with me. Good care is both evidence-based and highly individual. There is no single treatment plan that works for everyone.
I am straightforward and collaborative. I aim to understand what someone is experiencing and decide together what treatment, if any, may be helpful.
I want my patients to understand their diagnosis, their treatment options, and what we can realistically expect from them.
Most importantly, I want patients to leave our visits feeling hopeful and confident in a plan that works for them.
How I thrive
For me, thriving is about maintaining balance and making room for the people and activities that bring joy and meaning to life. I value spending time with family, friends, and furry friends, especially when that time is outdoors and active.
I enjoy live music and painting, which keep me connected to my lifelong love of art. I follow a plant-based diet and believe in the idea, "Let food be thy medicine."

The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
