Approach To Treatment

My clinical work includes diagnostic evaluations, medication consultations, and ongoing psychiatric care for people over the age of 18. I offer both psychotherapy and medication management, with a thoughtful, practical, and collaborative approach. I work to build trust and mutual respect, believing that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective treatment. My orientation is grounded in a psychodynamic understanding of development as well as practical tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness. I approach medications carefully—never as a standalone fix, but as one potential part of a broader treatment plan that also includes psychotherapy and meaningful lifestyle change.
