We all have rich inner lives, but at times our emotions can be painful, frightening, or feel out of control. In treatment, we begin to explore the inner world and seek to understand how the past has shaped the assumptions we bring to experience, and how those assumptions continue to shape our current reality. New perspectives emerge and repetitive, stereotyped beliefs and behaviors give way to a world that is not determined by the past. Our work can diminish painful symptoms, and help to set and accomplish goals, and to meet life’s challenges with a greater sense of autonomy.
I provide a comprehensive psychiatric assessment, dynamic psychotherapy, and, when indicated, psychopharmacological intervention. I am committed to making treatment specific to each individual’s needs, and to working collaboratively to develop a treatment plan. I am familiar with the latest developments in psychopharmacology, and I provide dynamic psychotherapy ranging from weekly therapy to five times per week psychoanalysis. I can provide combination treatment with psychotherapy and psychopharmacology, as well as psychopharmacological management in conjunction with other psychotherapists.
