Therapy-Focused Psychiatry in New Haven
Psychodynamic psychotherapy with medication when clinically helpful
I provide psychotherapy-centered psychiatric care for people seeking deeper, longer-term work. My practice is designed for patients who want to better understand themselves, their emotions, their relationships, and the patterns that have shaped their lives.
As a psychiatrist, I can also evaluate whether medication may be helpful and integrate medication thoughtfully into treatment when clinically appropriate.
Self-pay practice with transparent fees and monthly superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

This practice may be a good fit if you are looking for:
Ongoing psychotherapy, not just brief medication visits
A psychiatrist who can think with you psychologically and medically
A reflective, collaborative treatment relationship
Help understanding long-standing emotional or relational patterns
Self-pay care with transparent fees and monthly superbills
Treatment that supports insight, emotional growth, and lasting change
How I work
My approach is psychodynamic and psychotherapy-centered. This means treatment focuses not only on symptoms, but also on the patterns, feelings, relationships, and life experiences connected to distress.
In our work together, I take time to understand the whole person: your history, inner world, emotions, relationships, goals, and current difficulties. Medication may be part of treatment when clinically helpful and is approached as one part of a broader therapeutic process.
