I treat children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of psychiatric diagnoses, though I also work with some patients who do not fit into rigid diagnostic criteria. Sports psychiatry is a specialty of mine, and I work with athletes at various levels (K-12, collegiate, professional) to address specific sports-related stressors and experiences that severely impact performance and mental health.

We can tailor therapy to meet your specific needs/situation. I typically incorporate practices from multiple therapies, however, I have trained extensively in psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, narrative-based, emotion-focused, insight-focused, play, and family therapies. I have extensive experience adjusting these for virtual care, as well.
