LGBTQ+ Psychiatrists in Louisiana

I particularly enjoy working with LGBTQ populations, alternative lifestyles, trauma and loss, relationship issues, and patients from diverse backgrounds.
I completed my M.D. at Ben Gurion University and my residency at Columbia's Saint Luke's Roosevelt Hospital, where I served as Chief Resident. I also trained in psychoanalysis at the William Alanson White Institute. My unique clinical background allows me to dive deeply and address not only your symptoms but the root causes for your distress.
