If your mental health challenges are hindering your personal, academic, or professional life, and you are ready to ask for help, you have taken a significant step by starting your search. I would like to help you find a path to greater well-being. My approach begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns and treatment options.
I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified private practice psychiatrist and Harvard Medical School lecturer. I offer ongoing medication management, psychotherapy, and/or second opinion consultations. I work with a broad range of adults but have special expertise in psychopharmacology, psychodynamic psychotherapy, college mental health, and LGBTQ populations.
I am temporarily accepting new clients and referrals. If you are interested, please reach out to me to schedule an initial consultation or to request a free brief phone conversation. I typically respond to new inquiries in 3-4 days.
