About Me
I am a dual board certified adult and child/adolescent psychiatrist, practicing in New York City. My broad and encompassing psychiatric skillset enables me to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions and all ages.
I have over a decade of outpatient practice, providing medication management and therapy. I have served as medical director at an outpatient psychiatric practice in Manhattan, supervising an entire team of clinicians. Additionally, I was both an inpatient hospital and a day treatment medical director, and have expertise in emergency psychiatry and consultation-liaison on hospital medical units.
Seeing patients of all ages, I possess a unique appreciation of the developmental stages throughout the entire lifespan, allowing me to provide a Balanced Perspective toward treatment. One's past, present, and future all come together holistically into what makes every person unique.
My treatment approach is focused on communication through active listening, connection through collaboration, and evidenced-based treatment. I am committed to understanding every patient's needs as a human being, with individual hopes, dreams and uncertainties, who deserves professional care based on respect, empathy and attention to detail; without feeling rushed for time. To help my patients reach their goals, no stone will be left unturned, no possibility unexplored.
I am accepting new patients in NY and NJ for both medication management and therapy. Please note: I do not prescribe controlled medications in NJ.
