Welcome
Seeking care for your mind is not easy. It takes courage.
​
Choosing whom to trust with private aspects of your inner world is not straightforward. It can be difficult to gauge who will understand you well enough to help, and then to put that understanding to good use.
​
This website is meant to give you a sense of how I think and what it might be like for us to work together.
​
Welcome, and thank you. I’m grateful your search led you here.
Specialties
I treat people who suffer from anxiety, depression, mood changes, difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, and the impact of major life events such as loss, trauma, separation, or illness.
While these experiences may share familiar diagnoses, such struggles can be deeply personal—and the work they call for is unique.
Treatments
Talk Therapy (Psychodynamic Psychotherapy)
Medications or not? (Psychopharmacology and Deprescribing)
Mind and Body (Psychosomatic Medicine)
How would “just” talk help?
Talk therapy is a professionally supported effort to understand and alleviate the suffering in the mind. It helps one understand the enemy—the symptom—and the battlefield in which it takes hold. With understanding, fighting a symptom may no longer be necessary; if it is, it can finally be done with purpose.
"Doctor, do I need medications?"
What you need is a solution that best serves its purpose. Medication may or may not be part of the answer. Together, we can weigh all the options.
“Is this physical or psychological?”
Mind and body are not separate systems that occasionally interact—they are one system expressed in different ways. Psychosomatic medicine focuses on this overlap, especially where the body speaks what the mind could not.
