I am a Columbia University trained psychiatrist and neuroscientist. I work with adults in both medication management and psychotherapy, with a particular focus on mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, ADHD and PTSD. My practice strives to take a warm, collaborative and non-judgmental stance to create individualized treatment plans for each patient, incorporating medication and/or psychotherapy as appropriate. My treatment approach draws from multiple perspectives in psychiatry, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and neuroscience, with a therapeutic style that is direct, transparent and empathic.
In addition to my clinical work, I recently completed a research fellowship at Columbia’s Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute and am now leading translational research at a biotechnology company developing precision therapeutics for the nervous system.
Please note: At this time I am seeing patients virtually only.
