I work with clients who are looking for symptom relief while also wanting to understand how and why symptoms may be present. I specialize in the treatment of mood disorders (PTSD, depression, anxiety, and bipolar-spectrum disorders) using a framework that seeks to mitigate symptoms through medicine while simultaneously fostering a deeper understanding of the roots of symptoms in the context of one's personal history. I practice in a model that fosters compassionate self-inquiry through insight-oriented exploration. I am a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and Instructor at Harvard Medical School, currently working at McLean Hospital.
I take a multimodal, integrative approach to working with clients informed by fellowships in psychoanalysis and psychedelic-assisted therapy. I utilize principles from psychodynamic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, internal family systems, somatic experiencing, and Eastern philosophy. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
I am here to be a partner in your journey towards healing. I take an approach rooted in acceptance and collaboration to foster a relationship of understanding, openness, and warmth. Please reach out to set up a free phone consultation to learn more.

I employ a psychodynamic approach to explore how your past experiences have impacted the person you are today. I combine this with other modalities to assist with processing underlying emotions, including somatic experiencing, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and mindfullness-based traditions, with the ultimate goal of acceptance.
