Lakeway, TX is home to driven professionals who understand the value of investing in their mental health. As a board-certified psychiatrist serving Lakeway and the surrounding Hill Country, I provide a depth of care that honors the complexity of your inner life while supporting you in achieving lasting personal and professional fulfillment.

Lakeway, TX residents seeking psychiatric support deserve more than surface-level solutions or rushed appointments. My practice is built on the belief that meaningful change happens when you have the space to explore who you are, how you got here, and where you want to go. Whether you are navigating career pressures, processing a life transition, or seeking to understand longstanding patterns, I provide personalized, insight-driven care that meets you exactly where you are.

A Psychiatrist Who Understands Lakeway Professionals

Living and working in the Lakeway area comes with unique rewards and pressures. The Texas Hill Country attracts accomplished individuals who value both professional success and quality of life. Yet even in this beautiful setting, the demands of modern careers, family responsibilities, and personal expectations can create significant internal strain.

What sets my practice apart is my commitment to understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms. As a psychiatrist with specialized training in psychodynamic approaches, I bring both medical expertise and psychological depth to every therapeutic relationship. This combination allows me to help you uncover the root causes of your struggles while providing the level of care that only an MD can offer.

Understanding the Psychodynamic Approach

Many people who come to my practice have previously worked with providers who focused primarily on symptom reduction or behavioral changes. While these approaches can provide temporary relief, they often fail to address the underlying patterns that keep problems recurring.

Psychodynamic psychiatry recognizes that your current struggles are connected to your developmental history, your early relationships, and the unconscious patterns you have developed over a lifetime. By exploring these connections together, we create lasting change that goes far beyond surface-level improvements.

What to Expect When Working with Me

Before our first appointment, you will complete comprehensive intake paperwork about your psychiatric history. While this requires some time, it allows us to use our face-to-face time for what matters most: hearing your story and beginning our work together. When booking, you will provide credit card information, but you will not be charged until the appointment takes place.

Once care is established, you can book appointments through the patient portal. Between sessions, you can contact me through the portal, and I respond within 24 to 48 hours. For those interested, I may suggest optional homework to deepen our work between appointments.

Serving the Greater Lakeway Area

I welcome clients from throughout the Hill Country, including Bee Cave, Austin, Spicewood, and Hudson Bend. I offer both in-person and online appointments to accommodate varying needs. Many busy professionals appreciate connecting from home or office without adding commute time, while others prefer in-person sessions. I support both options.

To learn more about working together or to schedule an initial consultation, please contact my office.
