I am a board certified psychiatrist with a focus on in-depth psychotherapy. I have experience treating a wide variety of psychological and emotional difficulties with both psychotherapy and medication. I am particularly interested in working with those seeking a greater sense of well being, satisfaction in relationships, and understanding of self. I offer treatment for adults including individual psychotherapy, psychiatric consultation and medication management. Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation typically lasting one to three sessions. During this time, we will attempt to understand and refine the nature of existing difficulties and discuss treatment options.
In therapy, I aim to help clients become more present to their emotional experiences, both in the therapy room and out, and to gain greater insight into their psychological function. My therapy work is guided mostly by my training in Psychodynamic, Psychoanalytic, and Interpersonal Therapy.
I have a special interest in women's mental health, particularly pertaining to pregnancy and motherhood, as well as an extensive background and interest in meditation, mindfulness, yoga, diet and nutrition.
