Finding a psychiatrist who you feel comfortable with can be a challenge. In psychiatry, there is no one size fits all treatment. It is my goal to get a good understanding of what you are struggling with so we can work together to pick a treatment that is best for you. Through my training at Temple and the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia I have experience in treating a variety of mental health concerns including ADHD, mood and anxiety disorders, sexual health, relationship issues, grief and trauma.

Back to Basics - Psychiatry on the Mainline
Psychiatrist, MD
Verified
Virtual and in person. I aim to understand the root cause of your symptoms. My philosophy is "less is more" and use medications cautiously. I'm compassionate, non-judgemental and realize this is hard for you. I am here to listen and help. I see adults ages 20-55. I very much like to provide education to my patients so they understand why we are making the specific medication choices and decisions that we do. I mean to understand you, not just medicate you. It’s time to start your journey to an emotionally healthier you, one who can engage in all your life has to offer. Life is not always easy but it can be easier.
