I work with people dealing with challenges that impact their day-to-day life, leaving them feeling stuck, disconnected, or not fully themselves. This may show up as ongoing stress, inner conflict, relationship difficulties, or periods of transition where things feel unsettled.
Some may be looking for more immediate symptom relief, while others want a deeper understanding of what’s going on. Most fall somewhere in between.
I take a collaborative and structured approach to care, focused on helping you move forward with more clarity and stability.
As a board-certified psychiatrist, my approach goes beyond traditional med management. I integrate therapy into our sessions, consider lifestyle factors, while bringing expertise in interventional neuropsychiatry to inform a precise and individualized approach to care. If needed, I have access to treatments like ketamine, rTMS, and stellate ganglion blocks.
It can be difficult to navigate these challenges on your own, especially when things haven’t fully responded to conventional approaches.
My focus is on understanding what’s driving your symptoms rather than just managing them, and helping you feel more stable, clear, and like yourself again.
If this resonates, we may be a good fit.
