My website
I am a Board-Certified Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist who has been serving the greater Philadelphia area since 2007. I have worked extensively with a wide range of diagnoses that include anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, PTSD, Autism, mood disorders and psychotic disorders. My goal is to work collaboratively with all my patients and their families to set treatment goals that appreciate and respect their lived experiences. I believe that a multimodal approach is the best way to treat a child, and that partnering with a child’s family is essential in making lasting progress; the same, I have found, holds true for adults.
Having completed my adult training at Drexel University School of Medicine/Hahnemann Hospital and my child and adolescent training at UPENN/Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), I am uniquely positioned to treat the life span through psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management as well as numerous modalities of talk therapy.
I am deeply committed to providing excellent evidence-based care while promoting equity in accessing mental health treatment. In that way, I value meeting people where they are. I look forward to hearing from you!

I work with anyone willing to reflect on their life in an honest and authentic way. I also greatly appreciate and respect how hard that is. As such, I work in a collaborative way with my patients and their loved ones to create a treatment plan and work towards meaningful change. In my experience, the process is never fast enough, but most individuals begin to feel progress within the first month.

I am residency and fellowship trained in a number of therapeutic modalities. I tend to start with broad-based open-ended questions to better understand my patients' thoughts and feelings and how those are connected to their everyday choices. In that way, we are able to develop a unique multimodal approach best suited for their specific long term goals.
