I am a psychiatrist with years of further training and experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I treat a wide array of issues, ranging from anxiety, depression, grief, problems in intimate relationships, and chronic dissatisfaction to a general sense of malaise. I also work with patients who are experiencing confusion about their feelings and an inability to make important decisions, and who thereby feel stuck and unable to move forward. In addition, I help patients going through a crisis or a life transition that may lead to an increased burden of demands requiring change.
I work with patients to help them recount and revisit their life's story and create a new narrative that works better for them. In that spirit, I don't give overt advice, instructions, or quick solutions, but instead encourage them to arrive at their own solutions after carefully exploring the roots of their current problems.
I have a judicious approach to prescribing medications when warranted to support the work of therapy.

I am an internist and board-certified psychiatrist with several years of experience working with mentally ill patients and individuals in various phases of substance addiction. My decision to enter the field of psychiatry stemmed from clinical curiosity; while living in New York City, I became fascinated with addiction and wondered why some people develop substance addictions while others do not. After training in internal medicine, I continued specialized residency training in psychiatry at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Following my residency, I pursued further training in addiction and obesity medicine. Additionally, I have a strong academic background in geriatric mental health research.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Amityville
Finding psychiatrists in Amityville starts with understanding the type of care they provide. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Some people start with a prescriber for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD. Others work with a therapist, or with both a therapist and a prescriber. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches what you want support with.
In a smaller Long Island community like Amityville, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you search for care that fits your schedule. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. A psychiatrist’s bio can also help you understand their communication style and what to expect during visits.
Psychiatric care in Amityville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who accept your plan, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
