Given training in both Internal Medicine and Psychiatry, I have expertise in the intimate links between the mind and the body. My medical training and experience are enhanced by post-graduate study of modern psychoanalytic technique. This unique combination of skills allows me to treat patients with mood (Depression and Bipolar), trauma, and psychotic disorders. I am well suited to offer both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology.
In order to address both the biology and psychology of a patient's issue, I ask patients to attend at least weekly sessions. In this endeavor, I pride myself in assisting patients in developing a full emotional repertoire and facilitating an exploration of the possible meanings of a one's symptoms.
I recognize that the work of improving one's relationship to both oneself and others requires an open, curious stance from the therapist, and I look with enthusiasm towards engaging in the life-enhancing process of self-understanding with my patients.
