I am trained as a Canadian and US-trained physician, a psychoanalyst, couple and family therapist, and child/adult psychiatrist.
Couple and family therapy can sometimes serve as an efficient and effective strategy to improve the wellness of the whole family system. Sometimes severe psychological distress and suffering is located within the couple or family, rather than solely within a given person as it may appear at times. I have built up a strong skill set to offer a particular form of couple and family therapy known as "psychoanalytic couple/family therapy" which zeroes in on the undercurrent, unconscious meanings for destructive, relationship patterns that are outside the awareness of the couple/family.

program that emphasizes biopsychosocial and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches and completed my internship at Children's Hospital Boston/ Harvard Medical School.
Therapy is often about change - changing oneself or parts of one's life. Taking steps towards change requires tremendous courage, but many people find the rewards of this process well worth the effort. A supportive, helpful guide can go a long way towards making productive changes and that is where I come in. Support is my primary role; my secondary role is to help individuals identify thoughts or behaviors that are limiting progress in one's life. In addition to helping with a wide range of common symptoms like stress, anxiety, depression, I specialize in health psychology (coping with illness).

I’m passionate about working with children through creative, developmentally appropriate approaches like play therapy, but I welcome individuals of all ages with cultural humility, curiosity, and care.

Whether you're navigating stress, emotional overwhelm, cultural or identity-based challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I want to create a space where you feel supported, seen, and valued.
