As a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, I am uniquely suited to provide holistic care. A psychoanalytic therapy approach offers a highly effective form of treatment through a comprehensive and nuanced framework for working with and addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, identity struggles, low self-esteem, a lostness around a sense of self, struggles in your connections to other people, and feelings of meaninglessness. If advisable, I can also provide careful expert medication management. Together, we will embark on a collaborative exploration, delving into your unique background and personal influences as we work towards healing.
When you're navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, or identity challenges, you need a space where your experiences are met with genuine empathy, active curiosity, and a willingness to encourage honest self-examination. This is precisely what my embodied, trauma-informed, psychoanalytic therapy approach provides.
My approach facilitates an environment where people are able to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and wishes in a setting that is inherently collaborative, caring, and non-judgemental. A strong therapeutic relationship (doctor-patient relationship) is the most powerful agent in treatment and developing this alliance is an essential priority for me.
