You may appear quite successful on the outside, yet something is missing.

You're not living up to your potential. You self-sabotage. You're shy or lonely. Competition (or success) makes you uncomfortable. You yearn for more serenity, more meaning, more creativity, more joy.

You've tried self-help strategies but they didn't go far enough. Supportive therapists and "coaches" meant well but didn't get to the heart of the problem. Antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication failed to address your long-term pattern of distress. You need something more serious… more searching… more comprehensive.

I can help. As a board-certified psychiatrist, my treatment approach includes

• traditional psychotherapy conducted in a non-stuffy, straightforward way
• recognition of mind-body interactions, and how real healing is a creative process that comes from within
• prescription writing with a light touch and full attention to pros and cons

Our work together brings your feelings to light and unties emotional knots. Confusion and doubt give way to a clear picture of your relationship patterns and self-image. Self-blame, guilt, and regret become unnecessary.

My years of teaching trainees and writing about psychiatry for the public mean that I naturally like to make complicated ideas easier for others to understand. Let me help you understand and clarify the complexities in your own life. Read on for more information about my practice, then call my direct office line and leave a confidential message.
