I strongly believe that developing a good therapeutic rapport is essential for successful treatment. My practice primarily focuses on medication management, often combined with supportive, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and couples therapy in 20–30 minute follow-up visits. I take a holistic approach, particularly for patients with complex medical conditions that impact emotional health, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and family members when appropriate. In addition to general adult psychiatry, I specialize in geriatric psychiatry and women's mental health, with a primary focus on treating women with mood and anxiety disorders and geriatric patients with newly diagnosed psychiatric conditions.

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.

I provide a relaxed, conversational, and non-judgmental space for patients to reflect on and integrate all aspects of their lives. I believe that vulnerability is key to healing and growth and work with individuals seeking to improve mood, reduce anxiety, enhance sleep, boost attention, or heal from trauma. My approach blends the latest research in medical treatment with insights from psychotherapy and coaching. I specialize in treating major depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, addiction, and personality disorders.

During the first visit, patients can expect a comprehensive and collaborative evaluation where I take the time to understand their symptoms, challenges, and goals.

Prechter Bipolar Research Center and the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. I also worked as a Mental Health Specialist at McLean Psychiatric Hospital.

I believe in collaborative and educational approaches to address my clients' needs. I believe that therapy is a foundational part of building a long-term therapeutic relationship with my clients. I try to incorporate an educational component to help my clients develop a deeper understanding of their illness and related struggles and needs. I like to follow up closely regarding progress toward my clients' goals. I integrate psychoeducation into all sessions, explaining my reasoning behind the choice of treatment options based on evidence-based medicine.

I have publications in several peer-reviewed articles and manuscripts and have presented at annual conferences.

I create a warm, supportive environment where patients feel heard, understood, and respected. I value open communication and believe in working collaboratively with patients to establish clear, achievable treatment goals that reflect their individual needs and preferences. I begin the treatment process by thoroughly understanding each patient's history, concerns, and goals during the initial session. From there, I develop an individualized treatment plan designed to align with those goals and support meaningful progress over time.

Most of my work as a psychiatrist is with adults navigating PTSD, OCD, and the shifts that come with becoming a parent, including postpartum depression. I also spend time with people managing more complex patterns, like personality disorders, bipolar disorder, and anxiety that has quietly reshaped their daily lives. I trained in general adult psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine, where I served as Chief Resident of Education in my final year, and I bring an analytical, problem-solving mindset to sorting out what's actually driving a person's symptoms.

I don't think good treatment can start until I understand someone fully, so the first visit is a thorough evaluation where I take my time with your history, your symptoms, and what you're actually hoping to change. Medication management is the foundation of what I do, but it's one piece of the picture, not the whole plan. Depending on what you need, I'll fold in supportive therapy or recommend adding a therapist so the care around you is well-rounded. I try to be transparent about my reasoning and to build decisions with you rather than hand them down, and I tend to look for the strengths already there to work from.

I especially find common ground with parents and caregivers trying to hold their own health steady while looking after everyone else. The first step is really just a conversation, and we sort out the direction together once I understand where you're starting from.

Follow-up visits focus on symptom management through supportive, brief dynamic, or cognitive behavioral therapy, with frequent appointments until stabilization is achieved. I am committed to collaborative, patient-centered care that addresses both mental and physical well-being.

This session sets the foundation for collaboratively developing an individualized treatment plan focused on the patient's specific needs and goals.

My practice focuses on medication management. In my visits, I use an integrative approach, blending an empathic, problem-solving orientation with an understanding that the reasons for an individual's condition can be complex. I have experience dealing with many forms of mental illness and work collaboratively with my patients and their other treatment providers in making a plan for recovery.
