TREATMENT FOCUS

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

I offer a personalized approach in my practice, taking into account the many factors that influence one's sense of well-being.  


I believe that a holistic model which combines several modalities of treatment is the most effective.  I will partner with you to explore which treatments you feel will be the most beneficial for you. 


  I have extensive experience in medication management and psychopharmacology.  Whether you'd like to discuss starting a medication, think about your current regimen, or consider tapering off your current medications, I can help you with that. We will review all the options thoroughly, discuss the risks and benefits, explore alternative therapies and arrive at a plan that feels right for you. I have expertise in natural supplements as well, in case you prefer that approach.


In addition, I believe that therapy is an essential component in feeling better. Therapeutic modalities which I have found to be particularly helpful include Psychodynamic Psychotherapy,  and Mindfulness Based Therapy.  I strive to help you understand your self and your relationships on a deeper level and to help identify unconscious thoughts and feelings which influence your daily life. In addition, if you are working with a therapist already, I am able to support that treatment with the medication management component.



We will also consider lifestyle factors with contribute to a sense of well being, including diet, exercise, time in nature, activities which bring joy, close relationships and community.
