Looking for someone to work with who is compassionate, puts you at ease, and does not pass judgement? We will collaborate to develop an individualized plan facilitating stability and further growth and development. This includes medication management, therapy, and lifestyle modifications. We will work together to assess your goals, consider the best approaches to meet them, and continue to find ways to improve yourself, relationships, work, and overall life. We can work in a fluid and flexible fashion to enhance your life. If you already work with a therapist, we would be happy to assist with medication management.

I understand therapies - biological, psychological and mindfulness-based treatments - as ways to help you be more present in your life, face challenges in work and in love with confidence and feel secure enough to play. I understand feelings are not just symptoms but signals to be listened too and understood in their context. I also understand patients are people, not just victims of biology or inconvenient containers for medications. Our physical state is of great importance and still, it does not exist in a vacuum. It is intimately intertwined with our DNA, life circumstances, relationships, culture and past experiences.

Every human being is unique, and therefore, requires unique care for their healing. As a Board-Certified Psychiatrist who specializes in the treatment of adults, I use an evidence-based, comprehensive approach that integrates medication management and preventative medicine with psychodynamic, eclectic psychotherapeutic interventions that are specific to your needs. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, Depression, Mood dysregulation, history of Trauma or other Mental Health related concerns, it is important to have providers who focus on you as an individual and whole person.

The Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) program incorporates integrative psychiatry/ketamine administration with trauma healing psychotherapy. It is designed to help individuals to heal the root of their pain, to create movement where their system feels “stuck” and to find the innate internal strength that each person holds. The Ketamine program helps individuals to work through their trauma, depression, anxiety, to optimize personal/spiritual growth and relationships, and to widen their perspective, seeing life through a more expansive lens.
