I adopt a holistic perspective, recognizing that effective treatment involves understanding how life challenges impact a person as a whole. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, empathetic, and practical care to all my patients. I engage with patients in a way that makes it easy and natural for them to share their stories, and from there I promote a shared decision-making approach to develop the most effective treatment plan. My areas of expertise include psychopharmacology, as well as Cognitive Behavioral, Supportive, and Psychodynamic therapies.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with nearly 30 years of experience in health care, dedicated to addressing the mental health needs of my community. With a background in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I am committed to helping individuals become the best versions of themselves, no matter where they are in their journey at the time of their first appointment.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, biking, and being outdoors.

I believe in a holistic, integrative approach to mental health. My philosophy centers on identifying the root causes of ailments rather than merely addressing symptoms. I view mental health care as a partnership, where the mind, body, and spirit work together to achieve wellness, and I am committed to fostering a safe, confidential therapeutic alliance. I embrace integrative psychiatry, which combines the best of conventional Western medicine with complementary approaches. This involves a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment tailored to each individual, incorporating psychopharmacology alongside lifestyle adjustments in diet, movement, and breathwork. I collaborate with therapists and other professionals to create a well-rounded treatment plan that honors each patient's unique journey.

I grew up in an immigrant family surrounded by aspiring doctors, and my passion for understanding the human mind and behavior blossomed early. This curiosity led me to pursue extensive medical training abroad, beginning at Kasturba Medical College in Southern India, followed by clerkships at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago. I completed my adult psychiatry residency at the University of Florida in Gainesville and specialized further with a child/adolescent fellowship at Brookdale University Hospital in Brooklyn, NY.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist who takes a genuine interest in my patients and values collaborative decision-making.

Though I focus on medication management, I have a passion for supportive therapy with elements of CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness. I may also recommend that a therapist be included in your care team if more specialized therapy is required.

I emphasize the importance of truly listening, so patients feel seen and heard. I work collaboratively with my patients to identify their main concerns and to build a treatment plan that feels right for them. I believe treatment should be a shared process in which the patient is empowered and supported in their mental health journey. Taking a "less is more" approach to medication, I focus on minimizing prescriptions while still addressing all of a patient's needs. My goal is to help patients eventually rely more on therapeutic skills than medication. I view treatment as a partnership, balancing my expertise in psychiatry with each patient's lived experience.

Patients will experience a compassionate and supportive atmosphere designed to set clear expectations and foster progress toward their personal mental health goals.

I am Board Certified in Psychiatry and Board Eligible in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

I have over seven years of experience.

I value compassionate, holistic care and strive to build long-term, collaborative relationships with my patients. I am particularly drawn to the outpatient setting, where I can engage with the evolving narratives of my patients' lives.

I am very down to earth and professionally direct. I practice individualism and treat each patient as their own person. I develop treatment plans with the patient that tailor to each of their individual needs. My treatment styles and modalities include Trauma-Informed Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Grief Therapy.

My typical process when working with patients is to first establish a therapeutic rapport by asking open-ended questions, such as, "Have you been in therapy before, including as a child or teen (if the patient is over 18)?" This helps establish a starting point to build a trusting and individualized relationship. My next question is, "Why did you first enter therapy and were you diagnosed with any mental health disorders?" I continue by asking if the client is or has been on psychotropic medications and what brings them back to therapy. I gather all of this information during the first two sessions and then ask the patient if any skills were built during their therapy journey and if they still utilize those skills. Finally, I administer the ACE Questionnaire to assess for childhood trauma, if the patient is over 18 years of age.

I received my bachelor's degree in Arts and Psychology in 2007 and two master's degrees in science, one in Community Mental Health Counseling and the second in School Counseling Education, in 2011 and 2018.

I am a board-eligible psychiatrist who received my medical degree at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed training in the psychiatric residency program at Millcreek Community Hospital.

My practice is influenced by my training and research in political and medical anthropology, psychoanalysis, and social psychiatry. I view mental health as inseparable from history, culture, and social context, not just neurobiology. My approach ensures patients time to elaborate how their life history shapes their experiences and goals. In a healthcare system that often relies on generic diagnoses and standardized plans, I work with each patient on their own terms, integrating psychotherapy and potential medications to support the pursuit of their unique life possibilities.

I often work with writers, actors, musicians, and visual artists and with journalists, academics, athletes, healthcare workers, and activists, many of whom seek treatment in response to creative blocks, burnout, and relationship struggles. I also have long-term experience working with people who have lived through incarceration, war, torture, migration, childhood abuse, and psychosis, and with those building queer and trans identities and communities.

To facilitate durable changes, I regard psychiatric symptoms as matters to be taken seriously, understood, and worked through, not simply suppressed by medications. I ask patients to actively engage in treatment and often recommend frequent appointments to support this.
