You've been carrying something serious, and you deserve a psychiatrist who treats it that way. Not someone who rushes through a checklist with a plan already made, but someone who genuinely wants to understand your full story, past, present, and everything in between. I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatrist, a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with 26 years of experience spanning inpatient, community mental health, and private practice. I've witnessed the full range of human struggle, and I've never stopped believing that every person's story holds the key to their healing.
I specialize in Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD, conditions that deserve serious, experienced psychiatric care. My approach is built on open communication, mutual respect, and your informed consent at every step, because treatment decisions belong to both of us.
Our first session is yours, we'll walk through your full story, history, and past experiences so I can explain exactly how I see your situation and what treatment options exist. You'll leave knowing your path forward, not guessing at it. When you're ready, I'm here.
