About Us

"No man is an island...", John Donne wrote. No woman, either. From birth, we depend upon relationships to give life meaning. But life sometimes leaves us feeling alone with our troubles. We may feel misunderstood, sad, worried, scared or angry. We may struggle with our direction, fall short of our hopes, suffer a loss. Yet our social connections are at the core of our humanity. That is why I believe talking can help to relieve suffering and create new directions. I strive to help by listening carefully and reflecting with you to better understand obstacles to a more fulfilling life. , In therapy, a new relationship forms - the therapeutic relationship. This relationship is most helpful if you feel safe to be open, honest and curious. My job is to provide a thoughtful, safe and reliable space to allow for this possibility. , When distressing symptoms are intense or persistent, talk alone is not enough. Medication might be beneficial as well. We are not just minds; we are bodies, too. As a psychiatrist, I remain attentive to both - and the interplay between them.
