In my practice, I offer comprehensive treatment including psychotherapy and, if indicated, medication management. If you feel comfortable with what you read in my website, contact me to schedule a consultation. I welcome your questions about how therapy can be effective and will do my best to answer your questions in an informed, honest, and direct manner.

My areas of specialization include:
  • Women's Mental Health
    • Planning for pregnancy
    • Pregnancy
    • Postpartum depression and anxiety
    • Adjustment to becoming a mother
    • Hormonal influences on mood and anxiety
  • Depression and Sadness
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Anxiety and Stress
  • Communication and relationship issues
As a psychiatrist, I am trained to assess emotional issues from both a psychological and medical perspective.  If you wish and only with your consent, I will collaborate with your other medical doctors, prior mental health professionals, and/or personal support system to ensure the safest treatment approach for you.

Choosing a therapist is a first important step in your path to improved emotional and mental health.  It is important that you feel comfortable with and have trust in your therapist; sometimes this can be known in a first session though often it takes a few sessions to know whether the 'fit' is right for you.  If we choose to work together, we will do so in a collaborative way.
