A binnacle holds a ship's compass and keeps it stable and safe while the ship pitches and rolls. I know the world can be stormy, and I strive to provide patients with the care and treatment they need to weather even the roughest patches and move towards calm waters. I chose to name my practice Binnacle Psychiatry because this represents my treatment philosophy: meet people where they are, assist them to identify their goals and provide a safe and steady harbor for them as they journey towards their goals. I offer medication management, combination of med management with therapy, and Nasal Esketamine (Spravato). This is an effective treatment for people who have tried antidepressants and have not achieved adequate relief. My special interest in helping patients thrive through life transitions. Special strengths are treatment of PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis, I am happy to work closely with your doctors and therapist to ensure you receive the care you deserve. Binnacle offers nasal Esketamine (Spravato) for patients experiencing depression that have not had adequate relief from two or more standard antidepressants and those with major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation. Esketamine/Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray that may offer rapid relief where traditional antidepressants may take weeks or are ineffective. If you are interested in this treatment we would be happy to speak with you more about your options!
