02Conditions I treat
I have a particular interest in working with young men who feel aimless, stuck, or uncertain about their direction in life. Many are navigating transitions, identity questions, or pressures around career, relationships, and purpose. My work focuses on helping them clarify their values, build confidence, and create a more grounded sense of meaning and momentum.
Treatment for anxiety often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps individuals challenge unhelpful thought patterns, reduce avoidance, and build confidence through exposure-based strategies. Psychotropic medications may also be used to help regulate the physiological symptoms of anxiety and support overall stability.
Evidence-based treatment for depression combines CBT, behavioral activation, and supportive psychotherapy to help individuals re-engage with meaningful activities and shift negative thinking patterns. Psychotropic medication can be an important part of treatment by helping improve mood, energy, and emotional regulation.
Treatment for bipolar disorder focuses on mood stabilization, structured routines, and skills for managing stress and sleep. Psychotherapy helps individuals understand mood patterns and strengthen coping strategies. Psychotropic medications are often used to support mood stability and reduce the frequency and intensity of mood episodes.
The gold-standard treatment for OCD is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which helps individuals gradually face feared situations while reducing compulsive behaviors. Psychotropic medication may also be used to help decrease intrusive thoughts and support progress in therapy.
PTSD treatment often includes trauma-focused therapies such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE), which help individuals process traumatic memories and rebuild a sense of safety. Psychotropic medications may be used to help manage symptoms such as hyperarousal, sleep disturbance, or mood instability.
Behavioral treatments such as CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) help individuals improve sleep habits, regulate circadian rhythms, and address thoughts or behaviors that interfere with rest. Psychotropic medications may be used when appropriate to support sleep regulation and reduce nighttime symptoms.
Anger management treatment focuses on identifying triggers, improving emotional regulation, and developing healthier communication and coping strategies. Psychotherapy helps individuals respond more intentionally rather than reactively. Psychotropic medication may be used when underlying mood or anxiety symptoms contribute to anger.
Treatment for grief supports individuals in processing their loss, understanding their emotional experience, and gradually re-engaging with daily life. Psychotherapy focuses on meaning-making and emotional expression. Psychotropic medication may be used when grief is accompanied by significant mood or anxiety symptoms.
Treatment for perinatal and postpartum mental health concerns includes emotional support, CBT-based strategies, and education about the unique stressors of pregnancy and early parenthood. Psychotropic medications may be used when appropriate to help manage mood changes, anxiety, or other symptoms during this period.
Evidence-based approaches such as CBT, interpersonal therapy, and communication-focused interventions help individuals and families improve conflict resolution, strengthen connection, and build healthier relational patterns. Psychotropic medication may be considered when underlying mood or anxiety symptoms affect relational functioning.
For individuals managing chronic medical or psychological conditions, treatment focuses on coping skills, stress reduction, behavioral change, and improving quality of life. Psychotherapy helps patients navigate symptoms and maintain motivation. Psychotropic medication may be used to help manage mood, anxiety, or sleep symptoms related to chronic health challenges.
03My approach
Effective treatment considers the whole person. Together we build an individualized, evidence-based plan of care that gives attention to:
Nutrition is an essential part of whole-person mental health care because the brain relies on consistent, balanced nourishment to function at its best. The foods we eat directly influence neurotransmitter production, blood sugar stability, inflammation levels, and energy regulation — all of which affect mood, focus, sleep, and stress tolerance. When nutrition is irregular or inadequate, individuals may experience increased anxiety, low mood, irritability, or difficulty concentrating. Exploring eating patterns, appetite changes, and daily routines helps identify how nutrition may be contributing to emotional or cognitive symptoms.
Within treatment, nutrition is approached as a supportive component of mental wellness rather than a standalone solution. Patients are encouraged to develop sustainable eating habits that promote steady energy, improved sleep, and better emotional regulation. In some instances, evidence-supported supplements may be incorporated to help address specific nutritional gaps or support overall mental health, always in collaboration with a patient’s medical providers. Integrating nutrition, appropriate supplement use, psychotherapy, lifestyle practices, and—when indicated—psychotropic medication creates a more stable foundation for healing and long-term wellbeing.
Exercise plays a powerful role in mental health because physical activity directly influences the brain systems that regulate mood, stress, and energy. Movement increases blood flow to the brain, supports neuroplasticity, and boosts neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins — all of which improve emotional regulation and resilience. Regular exercise also reduces inflammation, stabilizes sleep, and helps individuals manage anxiety and depression more effectively. In treatment, patients are encouraged to find sustainable forms of movement that fit their lifestyle and support both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Sleep is foundational to mental health because it affects nearly every aspect of emotional and cognitive functioning. Consistent, restorative sleep helps regulate mood, concentration, memory, and stress tolerance. When sleep is disrupted, individuals often experience increased anxiety, irritability, low mood, and difficulty managing daily responsibilities. Treatment includes exploring sleep routines, identifying habits that interfere with rest, and supporting patients in developing healthier sleep patterns. Improving sleep strengthens the brain’s ability to heal, adapt, and respond to therapy and medication.
Human connection is essential for mental wellness. Supportive relationships buffer stress, reduce feelings of isolation, and help individuals feel grounded and understood. Community — whether through family, friendships, faith, or shared activities — provides a sense of belonging and purpose that strengthens emotional resilience. In care, patients are encouraged to build and maintain meaningful connections that support their healing. Community involvement can enhance motivation, improve mood, and create a stronger foundation for long-term stability.
Enrichment refers to the activities and experiences that bring meaning, joy, creativity, and personal growth into a person’s life. Engaging in hobbies, learning new skills, exploring interests, or participating in fulfilling experiences helps individuals reconnect with their values and identity. For many people, faith and religious practice serve as a significant source of enrichment, offering community, purpose, moral grounding, and a sense of connection to something larger than themselves. These practices can support emotional resilience, reduce stress, and strengthen hope during difficult seasons.
In treatment, patients are encouraged to cultivate enriching activities — including spiritual or faith-based practices when meaningful to them — that nourish their mind, body, and spirit. Enrichment supports mental health by increasing positive emotion, deepening purpose, and creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.
