Psychiatrist, MD
New York, NY 10016
Most of the patients who have worked with me over the years have a variety of different mental health issues. These include depression, anxiety and substance dependence. However, in psychiatry, there are many other mental health matters which need to be diagnosed and carefully treated. I feel very capable and prepared given my years of experience to work with patients who have these conditions as well.

You may know the burdens of depression and anxiety, and you're seeking relief. Perhaps you're looking for guidance in relationships - dating someone new, nurturing a long-term partnership, or even establishing boundaries with family, friends, or coworkers. Sometimes life transitions - starting a family, loss of a loved one, the stress of a new job or school, a move to a new city, a traumatic event - can be overwhelming, and you're looking for support and a fresh perspective. Whatever brings you here, you've already taken a big step towards feeling better.

New York, NY 10011
My ideal patient is considering medication—maybe for the first time, maybe after past trials that felt confusing or unhelpful—and wants a careful, evidence-based, and collaborative approach. They want to feel more stable, focused, and emotionally grounded so they can function better at work, show up more fully in relationships, and feel more like themselves again. They value a clinician who collaborates with them on medication decision-making while integrating lifestyle factors—sleep, activity, and nutrition—into the overall plan, and desire a warm and respectful partnership that supports consistent, meaningful progress.

Emotional pain can be invisible and debilitating, and hold us back from achieving happiness. Our experiences can color the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Taking a look at ourselves and discovering patterns can help us make different choices and find a path to happiness.

FAQ - LGBTQ+ Psychiatrists
What are the advantages of seeing an LGBTQ-friendly psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions using a combination of therapy and medication. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for effective treatment. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, working with a psychiatrist who understands or shares aspects of their identity can be an important part of feeling safe, heard, and respected in care. Providers familiar with LGBTQ+ experiences may be better equipped to address minority stress, identity development, gender dysphoria, coming out processes, family rejection, discrimination, and other concerns that uniquely affect LGBTQ+ communities and can impact mental health treatment.

How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly psychiatrist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful resource that allows you to filter for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) based on their experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals. You can look for providers who identify as LGBTQ+ themselves or who mention LGBTQ+ affirming care in their profiles. Consider looking for key indicators such as use of inclusive language, experience with gender-affirming care, or a focus on trauma-informed and identity-centered approaches. It’s also important to consider practical details, such as whether the provider offers telehealth, their therapeutic style, and whether they accept your insurance.
