I am a board certified adult psychiatrist and treat a broad range of conditions including anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, depression and bipolar disorder. I work with you to establish an in depth understanding of your problems and how they affect your mood, your overall health, relationships, and the things that really matter to you. This foundation is essential to effective treatment, and usually a large step towards feeling better.
I provide evaluations for medications, psychodynamic therapy, and psychoanalysis. Psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis focus on your development and relationships and how they affect your emotional life. It helps you gain insight into some ingrained patterns you may be unknowingly repeating in order to help you achieve some long lasting change in your life.
I believe the thoughtful use of medications can be an important part of treatment, but is always done collaboratively with you. As a physician, I consider your overall health and will often recommend lab work or referral for medical evaluation if something does not seem typical.
