What to Expect
Your first consultation is a conversation, not an interrogation. Drawing from both psychoanalytic training and modern psychiatry, we'll explore your experiences, patterns, and goals to create a treatment approach that feels right for you.
We believe in transparency and depth — you'll understand not just what might help, but why. We can explore the psychological roots of your struggles while also addressing immediate concerns through medication, lifestyle changes, or supplements.
