I am an ivy league-trained child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist seeing patients for combined psychotherapy and medication management services by telehealth. My practice is small and patient-focused with a tailored approach to meet every patient's unique needs. My approach to treatment is to provide a safe, comforting environment where patients feel able to express themselves emotionally without fear of judgment. I pride myself on being empathic, warm and caring with an ability to personally connect with each of my patients and their families. I love what I do and I believe this reflects in the results I help my patients achieve.
My training was completed at Brown University with a sub-specialty focus in treating neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism, as well as expertise in anxiety, OCD, depression, and mood disorders. I also enjoy women's mental health and treating a wide variety of general psychiatric issues. I am licensed in multiple states and also consult internationally.
My practice is small and I operate alone without an office staff, so my patients have full access to me at all times. I am often able to accommodate same day and weekend appointments, and am available on holidays as well when needed. I believe treatment works best with a combination of medication & therapy, therefore I offer both services in my practice.
