intention

a safe space; a commitment to self understanding; a catalyst for healing. its aim is to help one work through reoccuring patterns, to facilitate change, and to support one in living with more intention, fulfillment, and joy.

 
 
 
 
 

focus

restoration of health

my role as a physician and therapist is to help restore and support my patients’ ongoing well-being. this begins with helping them cope with difficulties through repairing their ability to connect to themselves, their relationships, and the world around them in a meaningful way.  

 
 
 
 
 

process

a commitment to self-understanding

I help people find the words to describe their experiences and feelings, examine emotional patterns, and guide them to explore what’s at the core of their challenges. together, we dive for the insights that can create understanding — and ultimately, a greater sense of inner peace.

 
 
 
 
 

treatment philosophy

how the process works

I strive to understand my patients’ (and often their families’) needs, problems and aspirations through comprehensive mental health assessments and second opinion evaluations.

I focus my approach around improving one’s overall quality of life, so that my patients can have fulfilling relationships, nurture meaningful goals, and feel more present in their daily lives.

my work is guided by the principles of: evidence based medicine, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family based therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, analytic approach, and psychopharmacotherapy.

 
 
 
 
 
 

science

on medication

Depending on how severe one’s symptoms are and what is causing them, medicines may be instrumental in helping one feel better and reach their goals. When considering various treatments, my recommendations are rooted in the available body of research and years of experience.
