I work best with people who are curious about themselves, even if that curiosity feels tender or uncertain—people seeking not only relief, but a deeper sense of self-understanding and emotional integrity. Meaningful change rarely comes from managing symptoms alone; it comes from having room to feel, reflect, and come into more honest contact with yourself. Whether you're coming with mood and anxiety challenges, relational trauma, existential stuckness, or the complexity of caregiving roles, we'll approach with thoughtful consideration of the context.
I’m a board-certified psychiatrist caring for children, teens, and adults through medication and depth-oriented therapy. As a psychoanalytic candidate, I pay attention to the stories beneath symptoms and the ways we’ve learned to cope. In our first meeting, we’ll explore what’s rising to the surface and what support might truly meet it.
It can be hard to know where to begin, especially when your experience doesn’t fit neatly into a diagnosis. If you’re seeking therapy, medication support, or a thoughtful combination of both, I welcome you to reach out. We’ll start by listening closely to what’s happening now and to what might be asking for attention or care.

My practice is out-of-network with all insurance plans. I provide a monthly superbill that patients may submit for reimbursement. Whenever possible, I set fees to align with typical insurance "allowed amounts," so your final out-of-pocket cost may approximate your copay after reimbursement.

I'm particularly attuned to the quiet ways people survive — the compromises we make, the roles we take on, the coping that worked once but no longer does. In our work together, I aim to create a space where those patterns can be safely explored and gently disrupted.
