Prior to our first appointment, I offer a complementary phone consultation to help us determine if the services I offer are the best fit for your needs.

 

I provide a full psychiatric evaluation for each individual I see, and am happy to collaborate with other treatment providers to ensure all members of your treatment team are working together for your wellness.

 

Whether we decide to work together for medication management, individual therapy, or both, my highest priority will be to cultivate an authentic relationship with you based on respect, honesty, warmth and trust.

 

Individual Therapy

 

As a psychotherapist, I have a warm, collaborative style that integrates various psychotherapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, supportive, interpersonal, existential, dialectical-behavioral and mindfulness approaches.  Drawing from these perspectives, I individualize my approach to meet your particular needs.

 

Medication Management

 

As a psychopharmacologist, I am diligent about keeping up with the latest psychiatric literature to ensure any prospective interventions have a strong evidence base.  

 

While I believe that psychiatric medications are often a very helpful tool to relieve suffering, I am also committed to the judicious use of them, and believe that they should be prescribed as much as necessary, but also as little as possible.  

 

I take care to ensure that you have a good understanding of the potential benefits and risks to each medication, and will support you in making the best decision for your overall physical and mental health.

 

Consultations

 

In addition to providing ongoing care, I offer psychiatric consultations for individuals who are principally obtaining their treatment from primary care providers.  

 

I also provide psychiatric consultations for individuals under the care of other therapists and psychiatrists to assist with clarifying diagnoses and determining optimal treatment plans.
