I love helping clients commit to their health. From my years of work as a psychiatrist, I understand the impact of medical and social factors on a person’s mental well-being. I also appreciate how scary new ventures can be and that for some people, prioritizing one’s health can feel unfamiliar. My work focuses on people experiencing late adulthood transitions, work or school-related stressors, social isolation, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and chronic illness, among other circumstances. I have a collaborative approach aimed at empowering clients and providing a safe space for healing.
Together we will formulate a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan that may include therapy, lifestyle changes, health education, and/or medications. I incorporate a number of perspectives such as cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, internal family systems, psychodynamic, and attachment theory to best meet your needs.
No one is immune to stress or life circumstances, and dedicating extra attention to your mental well-being is one of many ways to take care of yourself. I look forward to fostering a relationship that is supportive, educational, and collaborative.
