Who We Are

I am a child and adolescent psychiatrist with experience in delivering evidence based care for youth with psychiatric disorders.  My clinical work is primarily in the outpatient setting and I have experience with telehealth, community mental health, consultation to primary care and developing integrated care systems with pediatricians.  I am a psychiatrist on the Partnership Access Line, which provides phone consultation  regarding diagnosis and treatment to pediatricians and other primary care physicians throughout Washington, Wyoming and Alaska.  I have worked as part of an integrated care team by providing consultation in person at Kent-Des Moines and Roosevelt clinics.  I have expertise in the treatment of common childhood psychiatric disorders  and I am particularly interested in treating anxiety and ADHD.  I am also trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and incorporate this background in my work.  I value working collaboratively with patients and their families to make a decision about treatment options based on the best evidence we have for safe and effective treatment.
Academically, I have enjoyed being part of the fellowship training program teaching about Integrated Care and currently co-chair the child and adolescent curriculum for the University of Washington Integrated Care Fellowship.
