PTSD Psychiatrists in New Jersey

I am an experienced, open-minded psychiatrist who prioritizes empathy and understanding in my work. I recognize that each individual's path to wellness is unique and strive to meet patients where they are in this process. I believe that while some individuals may benefit from treatment with medication management alone, psychotherapy is often important for treatment success. I encourage patients to participate in psychotherapy and believe a therapist can be a crucial part of the treatment team. I use a collaborative, patient-centered treatment approach with the goal of reducing mental pain and improving wellness so that patients are better able to pursue their unique personal and professional goals. I utilize psychopharmacology, psychoeducation, and supportive and psychodynamic psychotherapy skills when working with patients. I have experience treating adults with a variety of mental health problems including anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related disorders, and psychotic disorders.

I am board-certified in general adult psychiatry and have more than twenty years of experience working with adults in a variety of mental health care settings including academia, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, university medical centers, VA medical centers, and community mental health settings. I received my medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine and completed my psychiatric residency at the University of California, Los Angeles Neuropsychiatric Institute.

I prefer a holistic approach that takes the time to know the whole patient, incorporating biological, psychological, social, and cultural perspectives in crafting a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan. I practice medication management combined with supportive therapy, typically delivered within 30-minute sessions. Elements of psychodynamic, dialectical behavior, and cognitive-behavioral therapy are also incorporated into sessions based on a patient's individual needs. If additional therapy is needed, I will recommend the addition of an individual therapist to the patient's treatment team. My primary focus is working with patients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD. I also value working with people adjusting to changes in their lives, whether it be grieving the loss of a loved one, changes in employment, relationships, or adjusting to changes that come with age.

I am a board certified adult psychiatrist. I completed my undergraduate training at Yale University and received my medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. I completed my residency training at the Cambridge Health Alliance/Harvard Medical School Adult Psychiatry Training Program. Having dedicated my career to adult outpatient psychiatry, I have worked with patients from a wide range of ages, cultures, ethnicities, and social settings across the New York City area. Prior to joining Talkiatry, I was an Assistant Professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and served as Director of the Adult Outpatient Psychiatric Department, Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team, and Collaborative Care Departments at Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. I also had a small practice near my home.

I have had a lifelong interest in meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. This interest has taken me as far away as the townships of Cape Town, South Africa and as close as my local diner, and it edifies the work I do with patients.

I provide compassionate psychiatric care using pharmacotherapy combined with supportive psychotherapy. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and numerous other psychiatric conditions. I also emphasize nutritional counseling, assisting patients in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight as part of their overall wellness plan. In an initial visit, patients can expect a thorough assessment aimed at understanding their psychiatric symptoms, personal health goals, and lifestyle considerations. I combine medication evaluation with supportive psychotherapy and may discuss nutritional guidance as part of a holistic treatment plan. I prioritize creating a supportive environment for bilingual (English/Spanish) patients to openly discuss their mental health concerns.

I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking adult psychiatrist with 25 years of experience. I completed my residency in Adult Psychiatry at Saint Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center in New York City and subsequently completed a Child Psychiatry fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. I have extensive experience practicing in outpatient and community mental health settings.

I am passionate about and very experienced in providing a holistic approach along with evidence-based care for patients battling depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, and PTSD. I integrate supportive psychotherapy along with medication management and lifestyle changes such as nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, and stress management. I am focused on having a collaborative approach to treatment and forming a therapeutic alliance with every single patient under my care.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist in General psychiatry. I completed my medical degree at St. George's University School of Medicine in Grenada. After completing my residency at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, I transitioned to an attending psychiatrist at the same place where I completed my residency. During my initial years as an attending, I took care of my own patients and supervised third year residents in the outpatient setting. After a few years, I transitioned to an inpatient setting, where I treated both voluntary and involuntary patients. I also continued to evaluate patients in the emergency room as part of the call group for the last 8 years.

I use a compassionate and thoughtful approach in order to form a collaborative partnership with my patients. I believe in treating the person as a whole and tailoring treatments to each individual's specific needs. I hold a special interest in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and OCD. I work with patients in 30-minute follow-up sessions, where in addition to medication management I provide supportive and at times psychodynamic therapeutic techniques.

I am double board certified in General Psychiatry and Addiction Psychiatry. I graduated from Tufts University before completing medical school at New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine. I then completed residency at Maimonides Medical Center, where I was a Chief Resident, and subsequently pursued an addiction psychiatry fellowship at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. I was also trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy by the Psychoanalytic Association of NY. Following my training, I returned to Maimonides Medical Center, where I worked as an attending in the adult outpatient clinic, treating patients from many different backgrounds with a wide array of diagnoses.

I became a psychiatrist with one mission: to provide compassionate, high-quality mental health care accessible to anyone, anywhere. My approach emphasizes that patients are more than a diagnosis, focusing on the whole person, their story, struggles, and strengths. I partner with patients to create individualized therapeutic plans that may include medication management and holistic strategies. My goal is to promote mood stability, balance emotions, reduce anxiety, quiet overwhelming thoughts, resolve interpersonal conflicts, and strengthen resilience. I believe healing is best achieved through collaboration, open dialogue, and empowering patients to make informed choices about their care.

I am committed to meeting patients where they feel most comfortable, whether at home, work, or elsewhere. I offer the same compassion, attentiveness, and expertise as in-person care while removing barriers like travel, time constraints, and distance.

I approach treatment as a true collaboration. I partner with patients to clarify goals and create individualized treatment plans that reflect their priorities and values. I strive to be non-judgmental, direct, and honest in my style, building a therapeutic relationship that supports open communication and trust.

I have worked with people from many different walks of life in clinics, hospitals, and online, providing evidence-based treatments for a wide range of mental health conditions. My professional journey is unique: I began my career as a research chemist, later earned a Master's degree in psychology and worked with children, before pursuing my medical degree and completing a psychiatry residency.

I begin with a thorough evaluation to understand each patient's circumstances and challenges. From there, I work with patients to set and prioritize goals, review treatment options, and select a plan that feels both comfortable and practical. As treatment progresses, I regularly revisit and refine the plan, ensuring it remains effective and aligned with the patient's evolving needs.

I offer highly individualized and empathic treatment, primarily focusing on medication management. I frequently recommend integrating therapy into treatment plans and may suggest collaborating with a therapist. I prioritize a holistic approach, emphasizing overall well-being alongside symptom relief, and I encourage the incorporation of mindfulness, self-compassion, exercise, nutrition, and attention to interpersonal relationships into my treatment strategy. I have expertise in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma and stressor-related disorders, and OCD.

During an initial visit, patients can anticipate a collaborative, patient-centered, and non-judgmental environment designed to foster a meaningful therapeutic relationship.

My specialties include managing mood disorders, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and stress-related conditions, with a particular emphasis on helping individuals navigate life transitions and mental health challenges. I believe in a thorough and patient-centered approach: during the first session, I take the time to understand my patient's history, current struggles, and goals for treatment, and together we establish clear and realistic objectives to guide the treatment process. I offer a combination of psychotherapy, medication management, and wellness strategies, and I value open communication to ensure that every patient feels heard and empowered throughout their mental health journey.

I then pursued my medical degree at Rocky Vista University in Parker, Colorado before completing my psychiatry residency at HCA Aurora in Aurora, Colorado. I was the recipient of the Chairman's Crystal Distinction of Excellence Award, recognizing a resident's exemplary performance and endorsing a resident's future success in the field of psychiatry. With a strong foundation in both neuroscience and psychiatry, I approach each patient with a deep understanding of the mind-body connection and the complexities of mental health.

When I am not providing professional care, I am an advocate for personal health and wellness. I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and family, staying active through exercise, relaxing at the Jersey Shore, and exploring new travel destinations.

I practice a holistic approach, combining psychiatric medications with elements of psychotherapy and mindfulness. I offer individualized and comprehensive treatment plans that address the whole person, including lifestyle and social engagement, because the latest research findings show that both play an important role in mental and physical health. Education on mental illness and recommendations on diet and exercise are always discussed with my patients according to each individual's needs. I spend time listening to patients and make plans based on clinical evidence without an authoritative approach, taking into consideration the patient's level of comfort and views because, in my experience, the best outcomes are always reached when patients fully understand and agree with the management of their conditions.
