I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship and believe that honesty, collaboration, and even humor have an important place in the healing process.

When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at The Mount Sinai Hospital.
I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, attention difficulties, mood instability, and major life transitions. I also support individuals in understanding how identity, relationships, culture, faith, and immigration experiences may influence their emotional well-being. I welcome people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, racial and ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and faith traditions. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and individualized. My primary orientation is psychodynamic, with additional training in trauma-informed treatment , Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) and dialectical behavior therapy(DBT).
When medication is appropriate, I will explain the available options and work with you to create a treatment plan that reflects your symptoms, preferences, medical history, and personal goals. I offer both in-person and virtual appointments.
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.
