What I do

• Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations

• Medications

  Medications can be a helpful—and sometimes essential—aspect of mental health treatment. That said, for a variety of reasons they might not be for everyone. I often work with people who have the desire to consolidate, reduce, or taper off of their medications completely. I also frequently work with people who have been on the same regimen for a while and might want to rethink it or try something different. Finally, I consult with people who want to learn about their potential options in detail but aren’t sure yet if they want to try them.

• Psychotherapy

Specifically, I practice psychodynamic therapy, an in-depth talk therapy that can meaningfully and long-lastingly treat many psychiatric conditions, with or without concurrent medication treatment. For younger people this is usually based in play.

If you are already working with a therapist, I’ll be glad to collaborate with them.
