Specialties
I treat people who suffer from anxiety, depression, mood changes, difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, and the impact of major life events such as loss, trauma, separation, or illness.
While these experiences may share familiar diagnoses, such struggles can be deeply personal—and the work they call for is unique.
Treatments
Talk Therapy (Psychodynamic Psychotherapy)
Medications or not? (Psychopharmacology and Deprescribing)
Mind and Body (Psychosomatic Medicine)
How would “just” talk help?
Talk therapy is a professionally supported effort to understand and alleviate the suffering in the mind. It helps one understand the enemy—the symptom—and the battlefield in which it takes hold. With understanding, fighting a symptom may no longer be necessary; if it is, it can finally be done with purpose.
"Doctor, do I need medications?"
What you need is a solution that best serves its purpose. Medication may or may not be part of the answer. Together, we can weigh all the options.
“Is this physical or psychological?”
Mind and body are not separate systems that occasionally interact—they are one system expressed in different ways. Psychosomatic medicine focuses on this overlap, especially where the body speaks what the mind could not.
