I am a psychiatrist who provides psychotherapy for individuals interested in developing a better understanding of themselves to help address difficulties in a deep, meaningful way. Psychodynamic psychotherapy goes beyond homework and other exercises to look at relationship patterns, personality styles, and current experiences that may be contributing to your symptoms. Engaging in psychotherapy requires patience, a curious mind, and an honest desire to make changes. In addition to psychodynamic psychotherapy, I also provide psychiatric medication management if needed, diagnostic second opinions, and consultations.
Through Rockfish Gap Mental Health PLLC, I offer personalized service and careful consideration of your needs. I regularly engage with other therapists and physicians, to help provide well-rounded services based in good communication and person-centered care. I regularly treat other mental health clinicians, clergy, academics, and other professionals.

Many of the people I work with find psychodynamic/psychoanalytic forms of psychotherapy are helpful when other sorts of therapy have not led to the positive changes they want.
