My Approach to Care
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to mental health. That’s why I take an integrated approach that draws from science, psychology, and holistic care. Whether we’re exploring medication, therapy, or an alternative treatment, it’s all designed around you.
Psychiatric Service That Treats the Whole You
Psychopharmacology
Medication can be a powerful tool, but it’s certainly not the only one. I take a thoughtful approach to prescribing. From the start, we’ll discuss if and when you should taper or stop taking medication, so you’re never left on autopilot.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Understanding what you feel is certainly important. But understanding why you feel it is transformative. My approach to talk therapy is an effective way to uncover unconscious behaviors that negatively impact how you think, act, relate to others, and engage with the world.
Holistic Care
I often encourage patients to explore the bigger picture—nutrition, movement, sleep, relationships, stressors, and other often-overlooked factors that affect mental health. When appropriate, we can integrate supportive strategies that complement and enhance your treatment plan.

Assessment
Whether you are an adult, teen, or parent seeking support for your child, my psychiatric assessments offer a safe space to explore your history, symptoms, lifestyle, and any other domains that may inform how we approach your care path.
Treatments
Healing looks different for everyone. Together, we’ll consider your recovery options, whether it's medication, talk therapy, interventional strategies like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), or a combination of approaches. My goal is always to design a treatment plan that fits you.
