PTSD Psychiatrists in Washington D.C.

I take a holistic approach to mental health, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. I thoughtfully integrate medication when appropriate, alongside lifestyle changes, sleep, and stress management. I prioritize strong therapeutic relationships and use 30-minute follow-up visits that often include elements of psychotherapy. My clinical interests include mood disorders, OCD, women's mental health, and eating disorders.

In the first appointment, I gather a thorough psychiatric history, explore current symptoms, and learn about the patient's goals. I work collaboratively to develop personalized, evidence-based treatment plans, blending integrative psychiatry with ongoing support for long-term well-being.

I earned my medical degree from SUNY Downstate Medical Center and completed my psychiatry residency at the University of Maryland/Sheppard Pratt. I have worked across various clinical settings, including inpatient units, residential treatment centers, and substance use disorder clinics.

My practice focuses on medication management in conjunction with supportive therapy, and I conduct follow-up visits in 30-minute increments. I believe that the most successful treatments integrate physical health, therapy, mindfulness, and medication, when necessary, to provide the most effective solutions for my patients.
