If you're looking to manage any of the following: depression, anxiety, OCD, mood swings, trauma, or DP/DR symptoms, my services can help. I'm a psychiatrist (MD) and my experience includes five years at one the largest university counseling centers in the country, private practice, community clinics, and working with veterans. What I offer: unhurried visits, thoughtful treatment discussions, collaboration, and a focus on meeting your personal goals. I'm well-informed about medications, as well as other options ranging from therapy to complementary/natural approaches. Please note: I am 'out-of-network' with insurances at this time.
I only offer telehealth at this time, which you may like for convenience and privacy. I offer early morning and evening appointments that can work for your schedule. Sessions are informed by sound therapy principles, self-activation techniques and healthy lifestyle education. I can also prescribe medicine when it's agreed upon as a helpful part of treatment.
I am ABPN board-certified in psychiatry, with experience in multiple settings. If you'd like to learn more about me and my services, you can call for a free 15 minute consultation where you will speak with me directly. That way, you can get a sense of me, my treatment approach, and we can review whether my practice can meet your needs.

Sessions are informed by supportive therapy as well as self-activation/CBT principles. Supportive therapy includes encouragement, nonjudgmental and empathic listening, and connecting themes and topics that are important to you. CBT principles include reviewing how our thoughts, beliefs, and the things that we decide to do (or not) can impact how we feel, for better or worse.
