Psychiatrists in Cambridge, MA

Thank you for visiting my profile. My approach is gentle, holistic, and collaborative. My priority is to establish a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship with each client. I am skilled in providing individual therapy, medication management, and psychoeducation to help clients manage symptoms, improve coping skills, and enhance overall mental health and wellness. When conducting individual therapy, I utilize different types of therapy, namely Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Supportive Therapy.

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.
