My website
Since I was 9 years old, I knew I wanted to be a psychiatrist. I was enthralled by how humans were influenced by emotions and wanted to better understand that within myself and others. I am a board-certified NYU-trained child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, who uses a holistic approach to carefully understand an individual's needs. I use a mix of psychotherapy and psychiatric medicine to alleviate symptoms. My hope is that you will feel better each time we meet. I have two office locations. Both are located conveniently near major transit sites (e.g. Penn Station and Grand Central).
I have a specialty in child & adolescent psychiatry. My special interests lie in the foray of ADHD, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder and am skilled at treating depression, bipolar-spectrum, anxiety, panic, and psychotic-spectrum psychiatric conditions. I hold a assistant clinical professorship at NYU School of Medicine and teach psychiatry trainees.
Armed with the most current research findings and clinical knowledge, my hope is for you to trust me in guiding you to making the best treatment choices.

I predominantly use psychodynamic psychotherapy (derived from psychoanalysis). So, we'll be diving into your emotions and try to understand the etiology of them. Contrary to popular belief, psychodynamic psychotherapy has longer-lasting effects comparably to the other therapeutic modalities.
