Summary
I am board-eligible, Colorado-licensed psychiatrist who is seeking part-time employment in a variety of clinical settings including inpatient units, emergency rooms, addiction facilities, and outpatient clinics. I have specialized training in psychotherapy and am passionate about alleviating suffering from those who went through childhood and adult traumas. I am comfortable working with those struggling with psychiatric illnesses and utilizing medication as a means of stabilization. I place a strong clinical emphasis on employing psychotherapeutic techniques to foster relationship rapport and believe that the relationships I create with patients are an essential tool for healing. Additionally, I am interested in environments where collaborative care is emphasized, and I have a particular passion with innovating systems of care.
