Harvard educated, and trained in both psychotherapy and medication management, I understand the advantages of each and am able to combine them in a treatment plan that best suits you. I specialize in helping individuals and couples with relationship issues, including dating, commitment, communication, sexuality, marriage, parenting, career challenges and lifestyle balance.
As your therapist, you'll find my style warm and engaging and my office a safe place to work through your issues. In our sessions, I'll draw on my knowledge of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and life-coaching techniques to provide you with meaningful solutions geared to your individual needs. If you need medication in addition to therapy, you will find me to be a compassionate physician who will strive to understand you and help you live better and wiser before prescribing.
As both your therapist and your prescribing psychiatrist, you will enjoy the benefit of finding one professional you can trust to take care of all your mental health needs.

Services
Psychotherapy, or therapy for short, is the opportunity to talk your problems over on a regular-typically weekly-basis with a mental health professional like me.
So, you could call it talk therapy, as opposed to medication therapy or any other kind of treatment.
Tough life choices, complicated relationships, and problematic feelings like anxiety, depression, and anger.
Many people find it helpful as shown by a number of well-designed studies or just by asking a few friends.
Therapy may be right for you, if you're someone who is willing to talk, open up, and learn things about yourself.

I'm proud to be a psychiatrist and thus able to provide for the medication needs of people in psychotherapy with me.
For the right person, medication can indeed restore mental health and make a world of difference.
The medication services I provide are 1) evaluating you for conditions that may benefit from medication, 2) maintaining and adjusting ongoing treatments, and 3) quietly keeping an eye out any situation/condition that might emerge over the course of work together that might be helped by medication.

Hi, I'm pleased that you have come to me for help understanding the important things going on in your life and reaching your personal goals.
I hope that you will be one of the many people who find psychotherapy comforting and inspiring.
Please keep in mind that the key to successful therapy is a commitment to tune into your feelings and think about your issues on a day to day basis.
Then bring to each session the most moving or puzzling things you discover.
To make the most progress, it's best to come for sessions weekly, although every two weeks or once a month may suffice for some.

Why would you repeat the past?
Why would you date or marry someone just like the father or mother who was most problematic for you?
It seems to happen quite often, even though it would make more sense to look for a partner with opposite traits.
Though never formally studied, this phenomenon has been observed by most psychotherapists and psychiatrists and was first recognized by Sigmund Freud, who named it "repetition compulsion."
In it, you would repeat a difficult relationship or event over and over again.

I just finished The 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman, an extremely popular self-help book that has inspired couples since 1992.
The idea of it is that the key to revitalization and repair on any relationship is to pay attention to how each person likes to be loved.
The challenge is that we all like to be loved in different ways and that we need to learn our partners "love language."
Fortunately, Chapman explains that there are five basic love languages and that we can discover ours and our partners through a brief, and I think fun, online quiz.
