I also work with a lot of mothers and
women
considering motherhood and am sensitive to the unique challenges we
women
face.
I am an Ivy League Trained Psychiatrist with 20 years experience in Psychotherapy and Medication Management. My approach is positive, empowering and collaborative. I find that medications are often overused and am devoted to not recommending medications unless there is evidence they will help. Often it is more helpful to reconsider your outlook, improve your coping strategies and alter your behaviors. Rest assured that most of the problems in our field are treatable so there is ample reason to feel optimistic that help is on the way. Self pay sessions are $400.Call to see if accepting United Healthcare.

As a queer Black
woman
, I am acutely aware of how stigmatizing and traumatic mental health has been towards oppressed communities of all kinds, and I attempt to undo some of that by stepping away from traditional medical model approaches.
I offer combined medication management and psychotherapy. The Whole Circle approach is informed by a reverence for the power of narrative and the transpersonal. My holistic training in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy allows me to create a safe space that includes a spiritually-intentional set and setting for each journey I facilitate. My background in narrative therapy informs my view of structures of oppression and modern power and helps empower those who consult me to take primary authorship in writing the story of their lives.

I am passionate about ADHD, anxiety, mania, delusional disorders and
women

I see clients for med evals & management, 2nd opinions and robust patient edu. My clients are wide-ranging: some are brand new to treatment; others have chronic mental illness, whether stable or during an acute episode; I accept pt's looking for a f/u provider after a psych hospitalization; I accept new-onset mental illness, whether due to substance use, an acute stressor or another factors. Some pts who anticipate difficult upcoming life-changes, like a pregnancy, job change, in-laws moving in, etc., may choose to see me prophylactically — often, some of these patients find quick relief just knowing there’s a plan in place.
