You want more than symptom management — you want to understand yourself. I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy + medication management for adults navigating identity, transitions, and emotional overwhelm.Most of us are at the intersection of different identities– it can be difficult to block out the noise and live authentically. I approach my work with three general assumptions:(1) People are doing their best with the tools that they have, (2) Recognizing behavioral patterns help us understand the roots and how to make sustainable change, (3) People will change when they understand their own behavior, are seen and empowered.
Mental health challenges can show up as increasing anxiety, mood changes, or just general feelings of exhaustion or guilt. My clients often come to me during times of transition, identity exploration, relationship stress, cultural conflicts, or other mental health challenges. Together, we work toward greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and self trust.
As a psychiatrist trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, I offer a space where we explore the “why” behind your feelings — not just treat the surface. I also incorporate CBT, DBT, IFS, and interpersonal therapy, adjusting to your needs. In addition, I am a trained psychopharmacologist and utilize medications as a tool in your treatment.
