As a psychiatrist with expertise in both psychopharmacology and psychotherapy, I can see you for individual therapy, combined therapy and medication management, or medication management only. If you are interested in working together, we will first chat briefly by phone so I can get a sense of your needs and answer any questions about my practice. If we both feel comfortable moving forward, I will ask you to complete intake paperwork prior to our first appointment, where we will spend 90 minutes thoroughly exploring your mental health concerns, goals, and history. I will share my initial impressions that will guide my recommendations for treatment.

If we agree that starting or changing medications would be helpful, we will work together to find a safe and effective regimen. I will collaborate with your other medical providers as needed and will always prescribe the fewest number of medications at the lowest possible dosages to improve your symptoms. Alongside medication management, I believe in empowering people through connection to educational material such as books that may be applicable to their experiences; for people who are motivated to make lifestyle changes, we can work towards realistic and compassionate shifts in behavior.

Therapy is another powerful tool to help alleviate suffering; I deeply enjoy working with patients in therapy and am trained specifically in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which seeks to help us understand and ultimately shift unconscious behavior patterns that are no longer serving us. I also incorporate principles from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction into my practice.
