In my work as a psychiatrist I recognize that my patients are more than a list of symptoms. My goal is to offer a consultation and assessment that is tailored to my patient’s needs.

Here at the Venn Center, we offer patients a unique therapeutic experience. I conduct psychiatric evaluations and assessments, as well as provide both individual and group psychotherapy to clients of all ages. I also offer pharmacotherapy and medication management when appropriate. That being said, 25% of my patients are not on any medication since I employ non-medicinal interventions that help remediate psychiatric symptoms whenever possible. Offering these complementary services allows the clients I work with to feel empowered in their desire for change toward a healthier way of being.

Our family run practice is located in Westwood, NJ and proudly serves the Bergen County and northern suburbs. We offer both in person and virtual visits for those who have a busy schedule.

My passion particularly lies with attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder, depression, and anxiety disorders. I value working in conjunction with the entire treatment team which is primarily composed of my clients, their family, and their therapeutic support system.

Most psychiatrists do not practice psychotherapy, but this impairs a more holistic and complex appreciation for their clients, which can create a disjointed experience for many people that leads them to disengage from treatment. My approach to treatment is non-judgmental, collaborative, holistic, direct, and uses the latest evidence-based interventions. I’m fortunate to have joined like-minded doctors in a practice where you can have dedicated time for both psychotherapy and medical services, direct access to me, and a working relationship that affords you a better understanding of and control over how you address your goals.
