I am a board-certified psychiatrist who utilizes medications and psychotherapy to help people recognize and resolve distress in its many forms. My areas of expertise include depression, mood instability, grief, anxiety, panic and perceptual disturbances, among others. I also work with adults who seek to initiate and maintain meaningful changes in their lives. I assist individuals in both identifying areas where they feel stuck and exploring the contributing factors. I encourage people to examine their ways of approaching situations, which are often guided in part by expectations and beliefs formed during previous experiences. Ultimately, I help provide patients with the tools they need to be the authors of their own lives.
