OCD Psychiatrists in New York

New patients can expect me to respect their time and autonomy while working together to establish shared treatment goals. I value open candor and punctuality, aiming to create a therapeutic relationship grounded in mutual trust, transparency, and collaboration. During the first visit, I take a comprehensive history and background to determine if the therapeutic relationship is the right fit for both patient and provider. Ongoing care typically involves monthly appointments for medication management until stability is achieved, after which visits may shift to quarterly follow-ups. This structured yet flexible approach supports continuity and long-term well-being.

I completed undergraduate studies, medical school, and psychiatry residency training at Saint Louis University.

I use a person-centered approach to tailor treatment to the individual, with an emphasis on shared decision making. I prefer to focus on psychotherapy and behavioral interventions as a primary part of the treatment plan, in addition to any indicated medication. Motivation for change is a large part of the healing process, and for many people recovery doesn't happen with medication alone. I ask all my patients to play an active role in their treatment. A thorough diagnostic assessment with discussion of the best treatment setting and modality, then regular follow up visits with emphasis on psychotherapy in addition to medication management (if indicated).
