My website
Welcome. I am a board certified psychiatrist, with many years of experience, offering comprehensive telehealth care to women, ages 20-70, in Florida, N.Y., and N.J. I treat mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating issues, ocd, acute & chroniic behavior patterns that no longer serve you. Often life throws us a curve ball, and at those times, we can all use a little help to regain our balance. The natural trajectory of the life cycle creates a multitude of new situations & choice points that can be crucial to your future. If you are unsure of what to do next, it can help to talk things over in a safe place. Call...let's talk.
As a psychiatrist, as well as a seasoned therapist, I explore the interplay of body & mind. An initial assessment should account for all aspects of you-determining what is imbalanced and in need of attention. This crucial step in treatment is often overlooked. Evaluation and treatment of you as a whole person is a cornerstone of my work.
Working together, you will feel valued, respected and comfortable. Starting wherever you are now, we will go forward together. My greatest joy is to see you make changes that alleviate emotional pain, improve your relationships & grow in your personal satisfaction. It continues to be a special privilege to have made this my life's work.

I treat women, psychiatrically and psychologically. After a thorough evaluation, we will decide if medical testing or medications are required. Then we will begin psychotherapy, addressing the problems that led to you needing help. You can expect gradual improvement. We will tailor the direction of the work, as things progress. The eventual goal is to find the best possible resolution for you.
