After a thorough assessment, I will provide options that can help you. These modalities can vary depending on your needs, interests, goals and levels of depth you want to reach. I am capable of using conventional psychiatric medicines, alternative/novel medicines in the psychedelic arena, such as ketamine assisted therapy, and also psychodynamic and analytic therapies. All treatments above may work in conjunction with each other and are notmutually exclusive.
