**Currently unable to accept new patients** I am a board-certified psychiatrist with a relatively eclectic background and a commitment to maintaining a warm, open and non-judgmental space for all individuals I work with. I am experienced and comfortable diagnosing & treating a wide variety of mental health concerns, including trauma-related issues, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, perinatal and postpartum depression/anxiety/psychosis, and adult ADD/ADHD. I am trained and experienced in providing a number of treatments, including medications, psychotherapy (CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic or Insight-oriented psychotherapy, Relational psychotherapy, Somatic & Attachment Focused EMDR), light therapies (e.g. for seasonal mood symptoms), and nutritional/lifestyle modification for improving quality of life and functioning.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory but I often draw from other modalities like accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and feminist therapy.
