I offer psychotherapy and medication management tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Instead of treating a diagnosis, we will address emotional challenges, life transitions, and desire for performance optimization as they arise. This can include self-inquiry and integration after psychedelic experiences. I have authored large, peer reviewed studies on psychedelic neuroscience and psychopharmacology, which informs aspects of my practice of psychiatry.
I draw from psychodynamic psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT/DBT, breath-work, meditation, and integrating these with psychiatric medication management, careful medication tapering, nutrition, exercise, supplements, and—when appropriate—bloodwork for laboratory assessment.
I have some openings in my practice at the moment so please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. Reaching out by phone or email takes only a few moments. I look forward to working with you.
