Thank you for visiting my profile. After completing medical school at the University of Pittsburgh, I entered psychiatry because I saw the impact psychological pain and suffering have on a person, including their health, functioning, and relationships. I saw how people get stuck and feel defined by that pain and suffering. Over the course of my training at Westchester Medical Center in general and child/adolescent psychiatry and as an attending in the Mt. Sinai Health System, I had the privilege of helping people heal and emerge with a better understanding of themselves and their world.
I graduated from my child/adolescent fellowship in 2023 with experience in medication management and psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe in meeting people where they are and knowing them beyond their symptoms, histories, and diagnoses.
I am a dual-boarded child/adolescent/adult psychiatrist (ABPN certified). I am licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey. Please contact me to set up a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs and for information regarding cost and schedule availability.

I work to provide a non-judgmental setting for people to understand their own minds. This may include their sense of their identity, internal conflicts, patterns of relating to others, and their connection to the world around them. I try to do this by creating a safe space while encouraging my patients to explore aspects of themselves they initially might find uncomfortable but come to accept.
