Creative people can end distress-without losing creativity! I start with a comprehensive evaluation and "differential diagnosis." I customize treatment to your needs, combining natural techniques, psychopharmacology, brief CBT, arts-based or horticulture therapy, collaboration with other therapists, as needed. We review current concerns, medical, cultural, family, interpersonal, educational, vocational and substance histories, before identifying helpful-or harmful--past treatments, avoiding whatever harmed. I recognize "medical mimics" of mental symptoms, and medication side effects—and recommend natural solutions whenever possible.

We have all known times when we thought we had known the direction that our lives would take, yet we find that we've lost our way. Many of us never seemed to have found a way to be ourselves which feels true and natural. We may be left feeling distant from what ought to be our better selves, or perhaps we feel strangely isolated from those who could or should be our closest companions. We might feel sad, frustrated, anxious or lonely. We might not yet even know what our real feelings are. Still, we sense that there can be a better path. Sometimes that way may be medicine, sometimes it may be skilled and professionally attuned talk.

Psychiatrist, MD

I am a psychiatrist located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, trained in psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. As a psychiatrist, I have the pleasure of working with a variety of patients and can easily tailor treatment to each patient’s specific needs. For some patients, therapy is enough. For most, the combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle interventions results in remission of symptoms. In my practice, I strive to create an intimate, safe space for self-exploration and personal growth. I am supportive, nonjudgmental, and empathetic. We will focus on what you want out of treatment and help you achieve your goals.

I became a psychiatrist and therapist out of deeply rooted passion to help people and "make the world a better place", combined with intense curiousity about psychology, philosophy, literature, spirituality, and all aspects of the human condition along with equal passion for the sciences, from biology to physics. Why I do this work - and related work in not-for-profit crisis mental health, training and mentoring younger professionals, and public eduction through blogging, books and other activities - is because it is my life's work. If we work together, I will bring that drive to your growth, recovery and development.

My expertise lies in treating anxiety and depressive disorders, but I enjoy working with clients with a wide range of conditions including ADHD and OCD, among others. You may not have a sense as to what is really troubling you and that is something we can explore together. What you do know, though, is that you're not quite the person you have been in the past or know you can be.

Through active listening and thoughtful questioning, I aim to provide the highest quality care to my patients. As a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, my expertise in psychopharmacology is best utilized by taking the whole person into account. There is no one size fits all approach to mental health treatment, and we will work together to carefully understand your unique struggles. We will then customize a plan to get you feeling centered and empowered. While I offer both medication and therapy services, I also enjoy collaborating with other providers and seeing clients solely for medication management.
