Approach To Treatment

My practice includes children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, psychotherapy, medication consultations, and ongoing treatment. My approach is thoughtful, practical, and collaborative, with an emphasis on understanding each person as an individual rather than simply treating a diagnosis.

My training in both adult and child and adolescent psychiatry has shaped how I think about mental health, particularly the role of development, relationships, and life experiences. My work draws on psychodynamic principles, along with techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness. I am careful and deliberate in my use of medication, considering both its potential benefits and limitations. When appropriate, I incorporate psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and medication into a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s needs.
