My ideal client is open to change, willing to face fears inherent in our human condition & wanting to learn & to get better. Please view below for my supportive position about the human condition. We must negotiate the contradictory directions in which we're pulled every day. Our individual vs our social self, love vs hate, work vs play. To integrate our contradictory natures, we need a tool box of psychological methods to cope with changes & to learn how, when & where to apply them to lead a productive & authentic life. For patients needing medication, I integrate pharmacotherapy with dynamic psychotherapy.

I practice psychiatry & psychodynamic psychotherapy with a focus on the whole person (the mind-body-feeling connection) to treat anxiety, depression, stress syndrome & creative blocks related to work or relationships. I view problems as often arising from the human condition & its inherent paradoxes.

Life throws curve balls and we can learn to deal with them!
