I provide kind, clear, and evidence-based medication management and psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults under 65 with mood, anxiety, and memory difficulties. I deeply enjoy working with people navigating grief/bereavement, caregiver fatigue, and chronic or terminal medical diagnoses such as autoimmune conditions or cancer. I see people for individual therapy, combined therapy and medication management, and medication management only. No matter your mental health needs, I will approach your suffering with non-judgmental curiosity and work with you towards a fuller and more connected life.
If we agree that starting or changing medication would be helpful, we will work together to find a safe and effective regimen. Therapy is another powerful tool to alleviate suffering; I am trained in psychodynamic therapy, which helps us understand and ultimately shift unconscious behavior patterns that are no longer serving us.
Please take a look at the website for my practice, Center Psychiatry (linked on this page), to review my services, fees, and frequently asked questions; I look forward to hearing from you!
