Both individually and collectively, now more than ever we are being faced with challenges that can lead to tremendous unhappiness and suffering. It can be daunting to navigate the mental health sphere if someone did decide to seek guidance from a professional. I am happy to work with anyone who has interest in self exploration and critical examination of themselves by showing appreciation and respect to their emotional pain which is in contrast to the typical model of "disease" and "cure." Taking an active and collaborative role in therapy, we work in stages like peeling layers of an onion and apply evidence based modalities indicated and begin to form a new relationship with our "minds" and our "self" in contrast to current practices that attempt to resolve or treat a supposed deficit.

​

Most have already began this process of separation from our "ego", as life undoubtedly will be challenging and will lead to suffering, but may need guidance with what to do about it in a non-judgemental and present manner.

​

My preferred treatment technique though taking techniques from many schools of thought is a uniquely designed to address symptomatic relief with evidence based practices that include meta-cognition through CBT and MCBT, shadow work through psycho-dynamic and attachment theory, and lastly essential somatic and body work to help the nervous system regulate from trauma and tragedy. This is for the acute relief of symptoms and to help assist re-framing our emotional pain. Later if interested, we transition to a more coherent and in depth self-realization model, in which there will be intent to seek a more observing role in our daily lives, learning to ultimately attain peace no matter what is happening in the world around us.

​

My experience in being trained as a physician who specializes in helping people with emotional pain allows me to provide clients with the up most expertise in the classic model of psychiatry including expert psychopharmacology assessment and treatment planning while also incorporating other evidence-based treatments outside the scope of western medicine.

I offer a premium treatment service to clients as evidenced by my training and background as well as dedication to the field of mental health rather than the classic diagnose and prescribe model you may get from other psychiatrists or simple supportive therapy from those with less clinical experience.
