The world can be a difficult place, and my calling is to help by getting to know you as a human being with a story. I specialize in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry — I treat a wide range of ages and difficulties. There are times when the careful use of medication may be helpful and even life-saving — and medication may not always address the needs of the whole person. I can also help you write and rewrite your story with an integration of compassion, common sense, and years of experience in a variety of evidence-based psychotherapies. I am licensed in NY, CA, NJ, and CT.

I work with clients who are looking to deepen their awareness of the way in which they move through the world. These clients generally report feeling "stuck" in their careers or personal lives. By working together in a non-judgemental and collaborative environment, you will continue to develop this awareness, therefore experiencing more meaningful interactions. Sometimes this is obtained through therapy, and sometimes it means discussing medication options for depression and/or anxiety. This can provide a huge relief and make space for great work to happen.

How to get relief from anxiety, depression, insomnia, distractibility, grief, and the other negative feelings is not something we learn in school. It is not often discussed in our household or in the workplace, yet there are social expectations that we should just manage and keep going despite the often paralyzing shame that comes with realizing we need support. I hope to offer a safe space where we can better understand these feelings and how it is affecting the way we live, love, and relate.

My goal in practice is to work together with each patient to develop a customized plan that will address their needs. I am a strong believer in psychotherapy and have experience in individual, group, couple and family therapy. However, when therapy has not provided adequate relief, medication management is always available. I will collaborate with patients to find the best treatment. I am also on faculty at Columbia University/ NYSPI and actively involved in research (specific areas include opioid dependence, pain and complicated grief). This experience allows me to integrate up to date treatment in my practice.
