I am a board-certified psychiatrist working with adults, adolescents, and families. I offer time-limited and open-ended psychotherapy, and I have found that medication can support and deepen the therapeutic process. I also prescribe for patients who have an established therapist and are seeking thoughtful medication management. My approach is reflective and collaborative, with attention to how people make sense of themselves and others—especially in moments of conflict, emotional intensity, or disconnection.

I studied sociology at Harvard and earned my MD and MPH at SUNY Downstate. I trained in adult psychiatry at NYU Langone and in child and adolescent psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian. I have pursued additional training in transference-focused psychotherapy at Columbia, where I am now in psychoanalytic training. I teach and supervise Columbia psychiatry residents at the New York State Psychiatric Institute.

My practice is on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I do not participate directly with any insurance companies, but you may be eligible for partial reimbursement if your insurance plan has “out-of-network” benefits.
