Through my training and years of practice, I’ve searched for the best ways to help people make real and lasting change. While the standard psychiatric approach often focuses on medications, which can certainly be valuable, I’ve found it rarely provides the full answer on its own. In working with my patients, we’ve found that the biggest difference comes when we spend our sessions trying to understand what is driving their suffering. Consistently, we discover that the deepest causes lie within the mind rather than in the outside world. Seeing this clearly opens the possibility for real change.
Once those inner patterns are recognized, the mind naturally begins to let go of old habits and find new ways of living—leading to greater happiness, ease, and fulfillment. My approach is grounded in modern psychoanalytic theory, but is also informed by years of Buddhist meditation practice. I integrate insights from other treatment modalities as well.
When medication is likely to be helpful, I prescribe thoughtfully and collaboratively, never relying on rigid rules or one-size-fits-all approaches.
