APPROACH
My goal is to create warm, responsive, and practical talk-therapy relationships with patients. I use psychodynamic theory—the close examination of patterns and behaviors with an intent to gain insight into self, alleviate distress, and help people lead more meaningful lives. At times I incorporate elements of more skill-based techniques such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. I prescribe medications on a thoughtful, case-by-case basis, with the goal of treating symptoms while minimizing side effects.
