I offer psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of both depending on the need. I specialize in treating a variety of conditions. Some reasons that people see me include:

• Anxiety/panic

• Mood symptoms (depression and bipolar disorder)

• ADHD

• Psychosis (schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder)

• PTSD, trauma, grief

• Adjustment or difficulties with life transitions

• Professional/work stress

• Relationship issues

• LGBTQ+ and BIPOC mental health

Background and Training

I completed my medical training at St. George’s University School of Medicine and my residency in psychiatry at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. I am board-certified in adult psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and I am licensed to practice medicine in New York State.

Over the years, I have worked in various clinical settings, which has given me a broad perspective on mental health care. I have extensive training in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. In addition to my private practice, I serve as clinical faculty and staff psychiatrist at NYU and Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.
