A doctor once told me that no one gets through medical school without being at least a little obsessive-compulsive. 

In this way, many of the roles we play in life have the potential to get away from us and progress to symptoms that may debilitate us or cripple our relationships with others: the parent who wants their child to succeed but becomes overbearing and controlling, the executive whose best personality assets of foresight and action become destructive manic and hypomanic episodes, or the partner who just wants their relationship to work even if it means pretending that there aren't problems with their spouse and becomes depressed and anxious as a result of their denial.

These are a few of the many different conditions that I assist my patients with on a daily basis.  I utilize a combination of insight oriented, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral techniques to reduce symptoms and increase contentment.

Most clients are seen without psychotropic medications.  Those patients who determine with me that they might benefit from medication are referred to a board certified psychiatrist, advanced practice psychiatric nurse, or similar medical professional for evaluation and medication management.
