I’m a New York based double board-certified psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience helping adults manage depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based care. I take time to understand your symptoms, background, and goals to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your life. I completed my medical training at the University of Mumbai, followed by residency at SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn and a fellowship in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. My background includes work at institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic, NYU Langone, and currently New York-Presbyterian, where I serve as Unit Chief and an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine.

I am a double board-certified mental health nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner working predominantly with individuals ages 18-65. I hold master's degrees from Pace University. As both an advanced practice nurse and a psychiatric nurse at heart, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings including inpatient care ( NewYork-Presbyterian), outpatient services and teaching future advanced practice nurses. Currently, I provide only telehealth services at this time but in-person in the near future.
*disclaimer- at this time I am unable to assist in those seeking controlled medications (stimulants/benzodiazepine).
I am a board-certified adult/consult-liaison psychiatrist, who is currently practicing in NYC. Patients who enter treatment with me can expect to receive holistic and individualized care for their mental and emotional needs.
I utilize an evidenced-based holistic approach with the patient's concerns being front and center. If medications are to be used, then it is priority to ensure that the most benefit is provided, with the least amount of medication onboard. The most important tool a provider can use is simply listening. We are all seeking that "better space for mental well being, and I strive in helping people move closer on this journey.
I am a double board-certified psychiatrist in adult and child/adolescent psychiatry, providing expert care to patients ages 6 to 80 through secure virtual appointments. Licensed in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware, I bring 25 years of clinical experience to psychiatric evaluations and medication management. My work experiences include private practice, academic medicine, community psychiatry, residential treatment facilities, intensive outpatients.
I earned an MD from Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg, Germany, and completed psychiatry residency and child psychiatry fellowship training at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA.

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 Psychiatrist in New York
Searching for psychiatrists in New York starts with knowing what kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication needs. Therapists focus on talk therapy and may work with you alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, reviewing each psychiatrist’s listed specialties can help you find someone whose training matches what you want to address. Across New York, available care can vary between urban and rural areas, so a clear sense of your needs can make the search easier.
Practical fit matters, too. A psychiatrist in New York, NY may offer different scheduling options than a psychiatrist in Buffalo, Albany, or other parts of upstate New York. Consider whether you prefer in-person appointments near you or virtual visits that fit more easily into your schedule. Psychiatry visits for medication management are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details about appointment structure, communication style, available times, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in New York can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see whether a psychiatrist is in network and view an estimated cost before booking. Headway shows psychiatrists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and can be booked directly when you are 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.
