Why see Dr. M?
Psychotherapy
Therapy is an invaluable form of mental health care, used to help individuals deepen their understanding of themselves and feel more in the driver's seat of their lives.
​
I hold its importance in high regard -- tailoring my education and practice towards enhancing the application of this treatment modality.
​
Though I find grounding in a variety of theoretical psychotherapy backgrounds, my primary treatment approach is from the psychodynamic lens.
​
Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers a space to understand the deeper roots of your experiences, helping you to develop a greater self-awareness, resilience and freedom.
​
Psychopharmacology
Though I take a therapeutic and holistic approach to mental health treatment, there are many instances where psychotropic medications are needed in the alleviation of symptoms.
​
My formal training in psychopharmacology and credentialing as a prescriber will ideally aid in our work togther - an additional tool for improving your quality of life.
​
At this time, I am only providing medication management services to individuals who have established for psychotherapy.
Meet "Dr. M"
I grew up in "Wild and Wonderful" West Virginia before moving to North Carolina to receive my bachelors in Chemistry from Wake Forest University (Go Deacs!). During this time, I worked as an EMT fostering an early interest in mental health -- often engaging with individuals at a time of crisis and highest emotional need.
​
After returning to my home state to obtain a Medical Doctorate at Marshall University School of Medicine, my passion for psychiatric care was deepened by aiding the community of Huntington, WV during the height of the opioid epidemic.
​
When it came time to specialize, I felt privileged to join the University of Colorado residency training program where I served as chief resident of Outpatient Psychiatry with a psychotherapy focus. Following the completion of my residency, I elected to receive additional therapy education and supervision through the Denver Institute for Psychoanalysis's Psychodynamic Training Program while managing my private practice.
​
Most recently, I have been accepted as a candidate to study adult psychoanalysis through the William Alanson White Institute in New York City, NY.
​
It has been a pleasure to call the Rocky Mountain State my home (a home I had the great fortune to explore on foot via the Colorado Trail!), but I am excited to expand my practice to the bustling Big Apple. In our work together, you will find that I frequently draw on the diversity of my personal and professional experiences; however, your trailhead starts with you, and I look forward to navigating that personal journey towards your mountain top moments.
