Welcome
Seeking care for your mind is not easy. It takes courage and discernment.
Choosing whom to trust with private aspects of your inner world is not straightforward. It can be difficult to know who will understand you well enough—and who can put that understanding to good use.
This website is meant to give you a sense of how I think and what it might be like for us to work together.
Welcome. I’m glad your search led you here.
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? (Psychopharmacology and Deprescribing)
Mind and Body (Psychosomatic Medicine)
Talk therapy is at least as much about listening as about talking. Both doctor and patient listen attentively, reading the lines as well as between them. Talking freely and listening carefully can bring light into places that have felt dark.
“Doctor, do I need medication?”
The mind is more than an interplay of molecules, but medications, hormones, nutrition, supplements, and other physical factors can have powerful effects. Together, we can weigh the options and consider whether fine-tuning some of these ingredients might make life better.
“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 when the body speaks what the mind could not.
