As a psychotherapist my clinical focus is on substance use disorders/addictions, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, trauma, anxiety, and depression, utilizing a relational, psychodynamic approach informed by CBT and DBT while utilizing a relational and supportive approach. With 6 years’ experience working in the hospital setting, 3 years on a Substance Use Disorder Unit, 2 years on the Borderline Personality Disorder Unit, and 1 year working on a Young Adult Mood Disorder Unit.

My ideal patient is one who is struggling in their day to day lives and is looking to make a change. That change can be in the form of therapy, medication, or a second opinion- I provide my medical recommendations and suggestions, while respecting your choices and autonomy.
