You may look like you’re holding it together—but inside, something isn’t working. Anxiety, depression, or disconnection persist despite your efforts. Many I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning, and used to figuring things out alone—until that stops working. LGBTQ+ clients often carry added stress from not feeling fully seen. People often come to me after therapy or medication hasn’t helped enough and they’re ready for something deeper, more effective, and more honest.
I offer a thoughtful blend of medication and psychotherapy, tailored to you. Together, we look beyond symptoms to understand what’s underneath, drawing from neuroscience, attachment, and meaning-centered work. My goal is to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more like yourself again.
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—especially when it seems like you “should” be doing better—can be isolating. You don’t have to figure it out alone. Integrative psychiatric care that might include medications offers space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and move toward a life that feels more steady and meaningful.

Asher is caring and thoughtful. His past experience in palliative care shines with gentleness, concern, and knowledge of how to help people feel important, comfortable, and open to heal. I cannot think of a kinder, more supportive, and empathic provider

I met Asher in 2023; from the beginning, it was obvious that his dedication to his work bridges the medical with the mystical. His commitment to his own wellness will help you cross the threshold into yours. I confidently refer to him & trust his work.
