PTSD Psychiatrists in New Jersey

I have an informal and approachable style when treating individuals who suffer from a variety of complex diagnoses. I explain conditions well and help educate my patients about how to be actively engaged in living their best lives. Concurrent with medication management, I provide supportive psychotherapy and I have psychodynamic therapy skills that help address the root causes of my patients' distress. If I feel you would benefit from working separately with a weekly to every other week therapist in conjunction with getting medication management, I welcome collaboration with your therapist to achieve optimal results. I strive to empower my patients in advocating for themselves and in achieving an optimal integration of their mental and physical health.
