I am a psychiatrist who has been in active practice for many years. I very much enjoy seeing patients and work collaboratively with them to address many issues that come up in intimate relationships, with family, in one’s work situation or in dealing with life’s blows and uncertainties. You may suffer from anxiety, depression, self- esteem issues, internal conflicts, guilt or existential questioning among the varied sources of distress that would bring you into psychotherapy and perhaps sometimes create a need for adjunctive medication.
But I regard each person as an individual with his/her own narrative. Part of our work together is to create and understand this narrative and how it came about. Sometimes the past can greatly affect the present without our being aware of its power. But knowing these influences helps one create a new narrative and way of going forward. I listen closely and am interested in your experience, whatever it is. We work together to understand it.
