I've worked with patients at every level of complexity, which means I bring both depth and flexibility to your care.I'm a good fit for you if:

— You've been struggling with ADHD that affects your focus, relationships, or career

— Anxiety is running your decisions or keeping you up at night

— Depression has been dulling your life and you're ready for something to actually change

— You want a provider who is thorough, honest, and treats you like an intelligent adultI offer telehealth appointments in NY, NJ, and CT and am currently accepting new patients.
