I am a board certified psychiatrist. I specialize in integrating psychotherapy with judicious use of medication. I am psychodynamically oriented, and I also practice using parts work/IFS. My goal is to guide you back to a connection with yourself. I believe that healing starts with gaining awareness and unlocking curiosity and compassion. When we heal from the inside, we are able to make lasting and meaningful changes in our lives.
