A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
Taking the first step toward mental health support is a significant decision. My goal is to provide a professional, welcoming space where you feel heard and understood. I believe that effective treatment is a partnership, one where we work together to understand your unique challenges and develop a clear path forward.
I work with men from different backgrounds, many of whom deal with burnout, leadership pressures, compassion fatigue, and working long hours in high-stakes environments (tech executives and managers, finance professionals in banking and investment, software engineers, lawyers and other legal professionals, physicians and other healthcare professionals, military veterans, police officers and first responders, engineers, and business entrepreneurs).
Helping you navigate life’s hurdles is only the beginning. My mission is to empower you to build lasting self-esteem, foster deeper relationships, and find the emotional strength to live a life that feels truly yours.
CLINICAL EXPERTISE
In my private practice, I combine clinical expertise with a thoughtful, holistic and patient-centered approach. I provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and ongoing medication management as well as psychotherapy for a wide range of psychiatric conditions.
I provide short-term, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, CBT, insight-oriented therapy, existential therapy, and supportive therapy.
I prescribe antidepressants (SSRIs and SNRIs), antianxiety meds (benzos, non-benzos), mood stabilizers, and stimulants.
