I thoughtfully prescribe and carefully monitor psychiatric medications when they are helpful. I offer second opinions and focus on medications that restore energy, reduce symptoms, and fit your life and goals. Medication is one tool in a broader plan; they’re part of the solution, but not the only solution.

A non-medication, FDA-cleared treatment for depression that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate the mood centers of the brain. There are no drugs and no sedation, and most people go right back to their day after a session. TMS is especially valuable when medications haven’t worked (treatment-resistant depression) and for depression that comes with anxiety.

An FDA-approved nasal-spray treatment for treatment-resistant depression, given in the office under monitoring. For people who haven’t found relief from oral antidepressants, Spravato works through a different mechanism and can ease symptoms faster than traditional medication. This is the in-office, FDA-approved form of esketamine, not an IV ketamine infusion, and you are supervised closely at every visit.

I provide structured, goal-focused psychotherapy integrated with medication management when needed. Skills-based therapy emphasizes practical steps, routine-building, and techniques to reduce rumination, improve mood and functioning, and help you re-engage with work, family, and joy.

Understanding how your brain works is key. I offer standardized, computerized testing that measures attention, memory, and cognitive function. It helps identify what’s getting in the way of focus, learning, or daily performance, and gives us data to guide treatment.

This testing can be useful for college students who need formal evaluations for academic accommodations, or for adults who notice memory or concentration changes and want clarity. The goal is to give you a clear baseline, track progress over time, and use that information to support real-world improvements in focus, mood, and function.

Hypnosis is used for insomnia, anxiety, and symptom management. I teach practical hypnotic techniques you can use at home to calm racing thoughts, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep.

Grief has a way of seeping into every part of life: your sleep, your focus, your relationships, even your motivation to do simple things. Sometimes it shows up as irritability, exhaustion, or forgetfulness instead of tears. When grief isn’t fully processed, it can harden into prolonged sadness, emotional numbness, or a sense that life has permanently stalled.

I help you find a way through it, not by erasing the loss but by learning to live alongside it with more ease. Together we identify where you feel most stuck and create small, realistic steps to move forward. The goal isn’t to get over what happened but to regain connection, meaning, and the ability to experience joy again while carrying your loss in a healthier way. Learn more about prolonged grief on my FAQs page.

Evidence-based supplement recommendations, chosen for safety first, so nothing overwhelms your current regimen or interacts badly with your medication. We choose targeted options that support treatment rather than pile onto it.

Concrete, achievable coaching to improve sleep, boost daytime energy, and sharpen concentration. We’ll look at key areas like sleep habits, exercise, nutrition, daily structure, and stress management. Small, consistent changes are prioritized so progress feels realistic and sustainable.

I use targeted lab tests to rule out medical contributors to mood and sleep problems (thyroid, nutritional deficiencies, etc.), to guide safe medication and supplement choices, and ensure treatment is precise.

When helpful, pharmacogenetic (genetic) testing can inform medication selection and dosing, reducing trial-and-error and speeding time to improvement.

Your body clock runs on light, so we use light deliberately in both directions. In the morning, bright light exposure, including a light box, helps set your circadian rhythm and can lift mood, especially through darker months. In the evening we do the opposite: “dark therapy” protects your sleep by cutting the blue light from screens and LED bulbs that suppresses melatonin. The simplest version is wearing blue-light-blocking (amber) glasses in the hours before bed, plus warmer bedroom bulbs and better light timing. As part of a broader sleep and lifestyle plan, this can improve sleep, ease insomnia without medication, and help steady mood, including in bipolar disorder. It is simple, low-cost, and something you can start right away.

Traditional antidepressants often take 4–6 weeks to work, and when you’re in deep pain, that wait can feel like a lifetime. I offer evidence-based, rapid-acting treatments that can begin easing symptoms within hours to days. These options can provide relief before things become an emergency, while we build a longer-term plan for stability and recovery. My goal is to help you find hope now, not weeks from now, and then guide you toward stable, long-term treatment.
