I am a board-certified psychiatrist with an interest in reproductive psychiatry. I have completed additional training in women's mental health through a fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and I have spent several years treating women with a variety of concerns in different clinical settings. While I am able to treat people across the adult lifespan, I particularly enjoy working with individuals who are trying to conceive, pregnant or postpartum. This can be in the form of a one-time consult to provide expert recommendations to be carried out by another treatment team or in the form of ongoing treatment with me.

Some interests include compulsive behavioral patterns (which, in my opinion includes behavioral and chemical addictions such as substance abuse and eating disorders and many others that perhaps all fall under the rubric of obsessive-compulsive thinking), PTSD, treatment resistant depression, anxiety issues, and psychotic disorders. I try to be pragmatic in that I do not believe "one size fits all" and that there is room for "harm reduction" practices like the Sinclair method, as well as "abstinence" based approaches for the many forms of "addiction".
