I am extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and have over a decade of experience practicing DBT across an array of modalities including individual, family, couples, group and community-based therapy.
My philosophy of practice is “a generic perfect path for all does not exist in our reality; to treat every person a clinician sees as if one does, is to do a disservice to an individual’s uniqueness and personal strengths. Everyone deserves to explore and uncover which direction is the best for them”. This philosophy of practice has been developed from my experience across a variety of clinical populations, such as individuals struggling with mood, personality, and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, grief/loss, homelessness, Active-Duty Service members and Veterans, and people in the criminal justice system.

FAQ - Marriage Counseling Psychiatrists
Do psychiatrists provide marriage counseling?
Yes, some psychiatrists provide marriage counseling, though this is not the primary focus for most psychiatrists. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in mental health and can offer psychotherapy, including couples therapy, in addition to prescribing medication. However, traditional marriage counseling is more commonly provided by licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), psychologists, or clinical social workers.

What is the difference between a marriage counselor and psychiatrist?
The main difference is medical training and prescribing ability. Psychiatrists have completed medical school and psychiatric residency training, which means that they can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, in addition to providing psychotherapy. In contrast, marriage counselors typically hold master's degrees in counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy and specialize in relationship dynamics and communication skills; they cannot prescribe medication.

Should I see a psychiatrist individually or go to marriage therapy?
This depends on whether your primary concern is individual mental health symptoms or relationship challenges. Individual psychiatry is appropriate when you are seeking treatment for your *own* mental health condition (such as depression, anxiety, or ADHD) and need medication management or psychiatric evaluation focused specifically on your symptoms and treatment plan. Marriage therapy with a psychiatrist is appropriate when relationship problems are the main concern and one or both partners have mental health conditions that impact the relationship. Many people may benefit from both individual psychiatric care for personal mental health management *and* separate couples therapy (with either a psychiatrist or marriage counselor) to address relationship dynamics. For example, one partner experiencing postpartum depression might work with a psychiatrist for evaluation and medication while both partners attend couples therapy to navigate new parenting challenges.
