Selecting a therapist can be a trying task, often during a difficult time. Obtaining an initial appointment quickly, same day returned phone calls, and being promptly seen as scheduled facilitates a smoother process. The therapist provides a bridge to move your life forward in more satisfying ways. This requires a safe therapeutic space, building a solid alliance, dependability, support around your concerns and achievements, identification of core conflicts, and experiencing growth in constructive, meaningful ways to enhance your internal self-understanding and life-fulfillment. If this is the experience you are seeking, I could be a good fit.

I am a Physician with more than 9 years of experience practicing medicine. I believe that medications, while effective, have their limitations. I use Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis as a means to broaden the scope of how I can help my patients heal. In therapy, you and I will make a sincere effort to explore your life and past experiences, while trying to understand how all of it affects you. Why does it feel like something stops us from being content with our lives? Why can’t we seem to escape the repetitive patterns of self-destructive behaviors? Why does it feel that we are somehow stuck?

When you complete treatment, I want you to feel that you, " got what you came for". It's never too late to effect change and heal.

Your child may not be exactly in sync with the world around them, facing challenges like Olympic-level fidgeting or having challenges socially or academically. They may feel frustrated, isolated, and misunderstood, with their behavior being challenging and intense in how they relate to others. Such behaviors can create a rollercoaster of emotions, not just for them but also for you as their parent. As they navigate the ups and downs of their social and academic world, it can become downright overwhelming. These behaviors are not fleeting phases; it's their way of saying, 'Houston, we have a problem.'

Hello, In therapy we have a unique opportunity to hold space for a season of time in which you can process your relationships and life experiences. Are you feeling plagued with anxiety or depression? Are you at a crossroads because of a major life event or perhaps just a growing restlessness? Have you experienced trauma that keeps you bound or making choices you’d like to change?

Everyone could use a little more grace. Sometimes that grace requires seeking professional guidance and support. My approach is to meet a person at their level of comfort with therapy and collaborate with them to reach their goals.
