Specializing in Schizophrenia, Meraki Health provides comprehensive care to help patients manage symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Treatment includes psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy to improve daily functioning, promote stability, and enhance overall quality of life.

Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders can have profound effects on peoples' lives. However, therapy can be a very helpful addition to medication and other treatments. I have experience treating psychotic disorders using Psychodynamically-Oriented Supportive Therapy (POST) and other approaches. I have also published professional works on both hallucinations and delusions. Please note that I only do individual therapy (i.e., not couple's or family therapy).

Having a background in substance use disorders and working at the VA means I have a great deal of experience working with individuals psychotic disorders. If you have schizophrenia or another psychotic disorder I will work with you to challenge and manage delusional thoughts and hallucinations to improve your ability to function in daily life. We will work together to find ways to manage hallucinations and delusions without letting these experiences dominate your life.

North Stamford is the leafy, semi-rural northern section of Stamford, Connecticut, a neighborhood of winding roads and larger properties within one of the Northeast's wealthiest corridors. Its mental health concerns track affluent Fairfield County life — high-achievement family pressure, commuter strain, and the isolation that spread-out living can bring, particularly for older residents. Stamford's and Fairfield County's strong private therapy market serves the area.
