I am a double board-certified adult, child & adolescent psychiatrist trained at Harvard Medical School and the University of Chicago.
I provide weekly outpatient psychotherapy for children, adults, and families seeking consistent, depth-oriented care in a stable, non-crisis setting. My practice emphasizes continuity and relationship-based work rather than short-term or as-needed treatment. I welcome individuals and families from all backgrounds, and have particular experience working with doctors, mental health professionals, Arabs, Muslims, and individuals navigating stress, identity, personal growth, and emotional development.
My work is guided by an empathy-centered, neuroscience-informed approach that integrates psychotherapy with psychiatric expertise. I focus on helping individuals and families develop insight, strengthen emotional understanding, and build tools that support meaningful, long-term growth and resilience beyond only symptom relief.
My practice is structured around weekly sessions and continuity of care. Many patients choose to work on a private-pay basis within this structure, valuing the consistency and depth of an ongoing therapeutic relationship. I also participate with select insurance plans for appropriate cases. To schedule a phone consultation, please use the website link.
