I am a psychiatrist in New York, NY who works with adults and provides care for patients who struggle with anxiety and depression. I particularly enjoy working with PhD students who are struggling with the ambiguity and uncertainty inherent with completing their studies and transitioning to their careers inside or outside of academia.

I believe that symptoms have a story behind them and aim to help my patients understand their thoughts and feelings. Even if our focus will be medication management, I want to understand how medication fits in with your personal narrative, history, or family history. From there, my focus will be to help you recognize and manage symptoms and improve coping and relationships.

I begin all new intakes by taking a comprehensive history. This may feel a bit overwhelming, but will help me determine a preliminary diagnosis and identify some possible avenues for further inquiry and intervention. My patients often say that sessions with me are a space where they can be curious about their experiences without judgment, from which they come away thinking about their problem from a new perspective.
