I take a psychoanalytically-informed approach to helping individuals with symptom relief, emotional pain, and interpersonal growth. This involves a focus on the role of emotions in a person's mental life, a consideration of how psychological defenses may complicate achieving greater personal fulfillment, and exploration of how the relationship that unfolds between me and the patient may shed light on problematic interpersonal patterns. I integrate psychiatric medications in the therapeutic work whenever appropriate for the purpose of reducing emotional suffering, enhancing the capacity for reflection on painful experiences, and to facilitate relational understanding.
I am a board certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. I am also an Accredited Practitioner of Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT). I have expertise in the treatment of depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and psychosis. I have published over a dozen peer-reviewed journal articles and/or book chapters.
