I am a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a professional background focusing on mood disorders, anxiety, and challenges in relationships. I attach importance to the ways issues of culture, race, trauma, family dynamics, and migration influence how we carry ourselves in the world and approach our experiences.
My approach focuses on the idea that our internal world is shaped by our connections with others. We will explore the 'why' behind your recurring thoughts and behaviors, paying close attention to the unique dynamic in our therapy room. This deep, collaborative work helps uncover unconscious patterns, allowing you to break free from old cycles and live more authentically.
In our first session(s), I develop a deep understanding of not only the presenting issue and its impact, but also the whole person I am treating. This includes past problems, family history, and developmental and social issues. Synthesizing all this information allows us to collaboratively choose a treatment plan, which might include psychotherapy, medications, or both.
