My practice is influenced by my training and research in political and medical anthropology, psychoanalysis, and social psychiatry. I view mental health as inseparable from history, culture, and social context, not just neurobiology. My approach ensures patients time to elaborate how their life history shapes their experiences and goals. In a healthcare system that often relies on generic diagnoses and standardized plans, I work with each patient on their own terms, integrating psychotherapy and potential medications to support the pursuit of their unique life possibilities.

I often work with writers, actors, musicians, and visual artists and with journalists, academics, athletes, healthcare workers, and activists, many of whom seek treatment in response to creative blocks, burnout, and relationship struggles. I also have long-term experience working with people who have lived through incarceration, war, torture, migration, childhood abuse, and psychosis, and with those building queer and trans identities and communities.

To facilitate durable changes, I regard psychiatric symptoms as matters to be taken seriously, understood, and worked through, not simply suppressed by medications. I ask patients to actively engage in treatment and often recommend frequent appointments to support this.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches (supportive, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic) in combination with medication management to help patients identify and develop treatment plans towards their own unique goals. Having worked with patients across their lifespans allows me to take a well-rounded approach to identifying issues with my patients, especially in family settings.
