My practice focuses on a duality of treatment strategies: specifically psychotropic medication management in conjunction with non-pharmacologic treatment modalities including supportive psychotherapy, emotive supportive psychotherapy, and personalized variants of psychodynamic/interpersonal psychotherapy. For my outpatient practice, I focus on mood disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, personality disorders, and family dynamics. I also have experience facilitating the coordination of psychosocial treatments in underserved populations.

During the first visit, patients can expect a comprehensive evaluation where I take the time to assess their symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. I foster a collaborative and supportive environment, ensuring that treatment plans are tailored to individual needs. Follow-up visits typically last 20–30 minutes, with a focus on medication adjustments and therapeutic support. If additional therapy is necessary, I may recommend integrating a therapist into the patient's care team for the best possible outcome.

My approach to care involves providing a consistent, empathic, non-judgmental space to develop and attain shared treatment goals.

I approach healing as both a science and an art. My care is profoundly patient-centered, collaborative, and holistic, honoring the intricate connection between body, mind, and spirit.

My treatment model includes thoughtful, personalized medication management, with generous 30-minute follow-up sessions to ensure care is never rushed and always attuned to the patient's evolving needs. When appropriate, I may gently recommend the added support of a therapist, recognizing that healing is often a shared and layered journey. With a heart rooted in empathy and a mind guided by clinical excellence, I walk beside my patients on the path to well-being, honoring their resilience and helping them rediscover their wholeness.

At the heart of my clinical approach is a strong emphasis on establishing trust, rapport, and therapeutic alliance to help persons to feel and live well and to progress toward their goals, both in treatment and in life. I begin with consultation, a compassionate, collaborative process of discovery that culminates in a working diagnostic impression and, in turn, treatment recommendations. For those with whom I engage in a treatment relationship, I provide psychoeducation, medication management, and individual psychotherapy, this last modality predominantly drawing from both psychodynamic and behavioral psychological models to tailor treatment to each patient. On some occasions, I may believe that additional therapy is needed and ask that you bring a therapist into your care team to provide the best outcome.
