About

I’m a psychiatrist working in the Bay Area. I created this website to communicate ideas and practices that help people struggling with their mental health.¹

These ideas come from a broad range of psychotherapeutic traditions, but converge on a set of motifs. I will highlight those motifs throughout these pages.

Some pages invite you to write. I want you to feel safe to write candidly. To that end, everything you write here stays on your device. Read more about that at the privacy page.

We have all accumulated a lifetime of mental habits, some of which produce suffering. These habits can change through consistent practice.² That effort is well worth it.

Happy practicing.
