Living with anxiety or OCD can feel overwhelming—racing thoughts, worry, or rituals that take away peace of mind. You may have tried to push through, but the stress keeps returning. What you want most is relief, clarity, and confidence to move through your day without being controlled by fear or compulsions. You’re looking for care that not only reduces symptoms, but also helps you understand yourself, regain balance, and create lasting change.
As a board-certified psychiatrist with 15+ years of experience, I specialize in anxiety and OCD. I combine evidence-based therapies with thoughtful use of medication when helpful. My telehealth practice is open across: NY, NJ, CA, CT, FL, IL, KS, OH, PA, TX, and VA.
I understand how exhausting anxiety and OCD can feel, and I want you to know you don’t have to go through it alone. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and compassionate—rooted in both expertise and respect for your journey. If you’re ready to take the next step, I would be honored to work with you.

I do not accept insurance and practice fully out-of-network. I provide superbills for clients who wish to seek reimbursement. My approach is highly specialized and individualized, and while it is an investment, many clients find the quality of care to be worth every penny.
