**Please note: I am not currently accepting insurance at my private office.** It’s time to make a change. I look forward to working with you during this exciting and reflective time. My experience as a psychiatrist treating a wide variety of issues, from anxiety to depression to relationship problems, as well as having spent many years as a social worker, makes me uniquely suited to help you. We can discuss when medication might be helpful. We can also discuss the role of therapy in identifying patterns in your life that are holding you back.
I have a master’s degree in social work from the University of Washington. I earned my medical degree at Cornell University, and completed a residency in psychiatry and a fellowship in public psychiatry, both at NYU. I am a board-certified psychiatrist, and I remain on the faculty at NYU School of Medicine.
I am currently offering video visits given the situation with COVID-19. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can help you.
