I offer a space where you can say what cannot be said anywhere else—an unconditional welcome to speak what feels most real, fully and without censorship. Dreams. Fantasies. Memories. Ruptures and traumas. Crises, and all the patterns that return again and again, asking to be heard. This work goes far beyond simply prescribing medication. I aim to be a long-term, trusted partner in your journey toward a more meaningful life. Within the safety of a therapeutic relationship, talk therapy can help you untangle the past, illuminate your inner life, deepen your self-understanding, and open new possibilities for living and relating.
As an integrative psychiatrist, developmental neuroscientist, and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I work to meet you as a whole person—mind, brain, body, and soul. When medication can support our work, I prescribe collaboratively. I bring particular experience with busy professionals, immigrants, racial and ethnic minorities, physicians, and entrepreneurs.
I studied Brain, Behavior, and Cognitive Science at the University of Michigan, and went on to earn both an MD and a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Iowa. I trained in psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh, where I was chief resident for psychotherapy. I have pursued advanced psychoanalytic training at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute.

A psychoanalytic approach offers a rich, nuanced framework for understanding and addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and professional challenges. In our first few sessions, I take time to get to know your history and discuss treatment options. I typically meet with patients one to three times per week, always starting where you feel ready to begin.

At the core of my approach is a steadfast belief in the human capacity for growth and transformation. The interpersonal tradition of psychodynamic therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a powerful agent of change, and I place the highest value on cultivating that alliance. Unlike the traditional image of a silent analyst behind the couch, I sit with you face to face, working together.
