While I am comfortable with managing medications when clinically necessary, my primary treatment modality is psychodynamic therapy. My approach is straightforward and warm, and I am flexible about the structure of sessions. Some patients appreciate coaching and education, while others find meaning in more open-minded and abstract discussions. I am especially interested in working with patients with depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, binge eating disorder, and/or alcohol abuse, and I am skilled in helping women cope with emotional changes associated with pregnancy, the postpartum period, and menopause.
I look forward to helping you to develop self-compassion and authenticity and incorporate more fulfillment into your life. I was born and raised in Rhode Island, and I received my bachelor's degree from Brown University.
After earning my medical degree from Vanderbilt University in 2013, I completed my residency in psychiatry in the Harvard Longwood/Brigham and Women's Hospital-Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Program in 2017. I have been at Lifestance since 2018.
