I'm a psychoanalyst who works with adults, children, couples and families, and have a subspecialty in sexual difficulties. I have taught and written about issues across many areas of the life cycle, and am probably best known for my treatment and teaching about couple and family difficulties. Although I am a psychiatrist, I only prescribe for patients I treat with psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

Are you looking for a psychiatrist who will understand you as a whole person, not a list of symptoms or diagnoses? I love getting to know people in depth, understanding their strengths and resilience together with what they might want to work on or change. Whether it’s learning new ways to achieve stability in mood or reducing anxiety, it’s so important to see the whole picture. Beyond thoughtfully adjusting medication, a comprehensive treatment plan may also include psychotherapy, making lifestyle changes, or learning new techniques like mindfulness or breathwork. We will find an approach that's just right for you.

FAQ - Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition marked by a heightened sense of self-importance, a strong need for admiration, and difficulty empathizing with others. These patterns can make it challenging to maintain stable, healthy relationships. Individuals with NPD may also struggle with criticism or feedback, which can also lead to interpersonal conflict or difficulties in work and academic settings. Psychiatrists can help diagnose and treat NPD, which often involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy.

What treatment options are available for narcissistic personality disorder?
There are no medications specific to NPD; however, individuals with the disorder are commonly prescribed medications that help manage symptoms or address the symptoms of co-occurring mental health conditions, such as mood-stabilizing medications or antidepressants. These pharmacological treatments are often most effective when used alongside psychotherapy approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), which can help clients with NPD develop coping strategies for managing their emotions and improve their ability to engage in meaningful relationships.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in narcissistic personality disorder?
Psychology Today's online directory can help individuals find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in personality disorders, including NPD. The platform allows users to filter by provider expertise, location, insurance, and other preferences. When evaluating a provider, it's helpful to ask about their experience treating NPD, their therapeutic approach, and how they collaborate with other members of a client's care team. It is also important to consider practical factors such as availability for appointments and insurance coverage.
