General Adult Psychiatry and Individual Psychotherapy
I provide comprehensive diagnostic assessments, treatment consultations, and ongoing treatment of adult psychiatric disorders, relationship problems and problems of living. Specific areas of clinical practice include depressive and bipolar spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, emotional responses to chronic illness, and life management concerns of the LGBT community.
Models of Treatment
- Brief and problem focused individual psychotherapy with and without concurrent medication, as needed.
- Medication management and medication consultation of psychiatric disorders without individual psychotherapy.
- Integrative, insight-oriented individual psychotherapy with focus on understanding developmental and life experience events in a way that facilitates progress toward a greater self-awareness and emotionally healthy relationships with others.
