Physicians are prone to write a prescription too quickly; and the pharmaceutical industry cynically promotes the idea that happiness and good sleep comes from a pill. People have reserves of strength they often hide from themselves; the most important thing I do, perhaps, is to help my patients discover that strength. My practice reflects holistic sensitivities, recognizing not only the value of complimentary therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, meditation, bodywork, dancing, & supplements, but also the value of acknowledging the role of spirituality in one's experience. Training and Background: I graduated from Harvard College with a B.A. in psychology. My M.D. is from Baylor Medical School in Houston, TX. I had a one year internship at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, followed by a four year residency in adult and child psychiatry at the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. My analytic training was with Seattle Psychoanalytic Institute. I was an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Washington for six years. During that time I directed the day hospital for psychotic and autistic children. I Have Been a Consultant To: * The Peace Corps * Seattle Public Schools * Psychiatry Division of Madigan General Hospital * Washington State Dept. of Corrections * Community Mental Health Clinics * Currently Conduct a Monthly Seminar at Western State Hospital
