Initial Evaluation

It takes time for our concerns to unfold. I offer an initial consultation of two to three appointments to holistically understand what brings you to care at this time in your life. I will then provide a customized treatment plan for your needs, and discuss with you whether continuing with a treatment relationship together is the right fit for you.

Psychotherapy

I believe the human condition is inherently relational. Psychodynamic therapy is the creation of a human relationship that promotes greater understanding of one’s unconscious drives, inner conflicts, and relational patterns in service of richer relationships and durable change. It is a time to slow down and reflect while in the quiet, attentive presence of another. Psychotherapy expands your freedom to make conscious choices in how you navigate your time on earth.

Medication Management

Medications can be an important part of symptom relief and recovery. I am a conservative prescriber, striving to optimize benefit to risk, reduce polypharmacy, and promote deep, long-lasting change. My approach begins with a comprehensive understanding of the source of the symptoms, your relationship to medications and your treatment goals. Together, we will develop a clinically sound plan tailored to your needs and your body.
