Human beings are driven by feelings. To understand these feelings is a challenge. To skillfully handle them is an even greater challenge. And to interact with another human being amidst the ebb and flow of feeling is as tricky as it gets. Luckily, practice helps.
I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist in private practice, offering psychodynamic therapy and medication consultation/management for adult patients. I work with a broad range of demographics and diagnoses, but have special expertise in mood and anxiety disorders in young adults (18-29). I take several insurance plans.
I am currently accepting new clients and referrals for my Massachusetts-based telehealth practice. I also have a waitlist for patients located in NY. If you are interested in a consultation, please email me and we can schedule an initial phone screening. I look forward to hearing from you.

The initial session will be focused on getting to know you and your history. In therapy, my style is collaborative and non-directive: the focus is on deeply understanding your experience together, rather than rushing toward a quick fix. If medications are recommended, this is done cautiously and with heed to potential risks.
