I am a board certified psychiatrist offering psychiatric consultation, psychotherapy and medication management. I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues or problems in school or work. Depending on the individual's needs and preferences, I also incorporate components of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and yoga therapy. I join with my patients to understand their suffering and together we find solutions for change.
While medications are often useful for alleviating symptoms, I believe that personal growth comes from exploring underlying issues within a supportive relationship. Thus, I only provide medication management for people whom I see in weekly therapy.
