I begin all treatment relationships with a thorough evaluation, understanding that treatment will be different for everyone. After a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms and your relevant medical and social history, I will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific goals. This evaluation may involve laboratory testing to identify if underlying medical problems are contributing to symptoms. I have training in multiple modalities of talk therapy, and my medical background allows me to incorporate medications when necessary.

I treat a wide range of mental health issues including mood and anxiety disorders, however, I understand that mental health cannot simply be reduced to a series of diagnoses. Many people experience significant emotional symptoms that emanate from everyday occurrences such as difficulty in relationships or in professional environments. Even universal emotions such as grief, jealousy or fear can become overwhelming. I understand this and will contextualize your symptoms into the broader context of your life.

Some people benefit from medication as part of their treatment, but that is not always the case. I will work with you to identify a solution-focused treatment plan which may include therapy, medication, or some combination. For patients who already have established relationships with therapists, I welcome the opportunity to partner with your therapist or counselor to provide you with medication management services. If you simply seek new perspective on your symptoms or current treatment plan, I offer isolated consultation services.
