I am a psychiatrist who practices psychodynamic psychotherapy. My approach is psychoanalytic and relational. I work with clients to create a space to explore thoughts, feelings, desires, motivations, and experiences with dignity and curiosity. Taking time to explore ones inner world can be challenging, rewarding, surprising, and fun. This work can provide a path to a better understanding of one’s relationship to one’s self, to others, and to the world and can be helpful for difficulties related to anxiety, motivation, identity, self-esteem, life experiences, relationships, separation, attachment, and transitions.
I have expertise in working with individuals of all ages and on a wide variety of mental and emotional difficulties. I employ therapeutic modalities that take into consideration a client’s age and development, including play therapy with children and psychodynamic psychotherapy with adolescents and adults.
As a psychiatrist, I offer expertise in prescribing psychiatric medications, in addition to talk and play therapy. I believe that judicious medication management (including starting, changing, or stopping medications) can be effective, especially when combined with thoughtful psychotherapeutic work.
