Good mental health, well-being, and a sense that we are living the life we want are things many of us strive for, but may find it difficult to attain.

When it comes to achieving these goals, anxiety, depression, and other psychological woes can often prevent that from happening. These other woes may include a poor sense of what you want, who you are, what you are feeling and thinking, or self-defeating behaviours that you can’t seem to prevent or control.

In my practice, we will strive together to overcome these obstacles, so we can clear a path to help you discover and better understand the feelings and thoughts that are personally and individually yours. This is the work of self-understanding that is vital to good mental health and well-being and permits us to live more fully the life we want—to be closer to the ones we love and care about the most, whether friends or partners; to seek work that is fulfilling and personally meaningful and helps support the ones we love; and to be able to set work aside and disengage from the demands of the world and find pleasure in doing so.

If you feel that some of these words speak to you, consider making an appointment to talk about it, and we will see if we can get you back on track.

I was drawn to the field of psychiatry and psychotherapy because of my interest in the human mind and the desire to help those in psychological distress. These interests led me to pursue undergraduate studies in psychology and biology, graduate study in neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh, medical and psychiatric training at the Temple University School of Medicine and the Medical College of Virginia, and training in psychoanalysis at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute (BPSI).

Currently, I have a private practice in psychiatry and psychoanalysis in Lexington, MA, where I see patients age 18 and over who are seeking therapy, medication management, or a combination of both.
