I graduated from SUNY Upstate Medical University in 2023 and have been practicing in outpatient psychiatry since that time. My clinical interests include attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), trauma-related disorders, and treatment-resistant depression (TRD), while also caring for a broad range of adult psychiatric conditions. I enjoy working with complex presentations and take a flexible, individualized approach to treatment that is tailored to each patient's unique needs.
I strive to provide thoughtful, patient-centered care that combines evidence-based psychopharmacology with an appreciation for therapeutic approaches beyond medication management. I have a particular interest in helping patients who have not found success with traditional treatment pathways.
In addition to my clinical practice, I have served as a preceptor for physician assistant and psychology students from training programs across New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. I value teaching and mentorship and see working with trainees as an important way to contribute to the profession while helping prepare the next generation.
