Biography
I employ a compassionate, humanistic approach designed to align closely with my patients' personal goals and values. My method integrates advanced psychopharmacology with psychotherapeutic techniques such as psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, habit-reversal, and cognitive processing therapies. I aim to carefully balance diagnosis, avoiding both overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis, to ensure precise and tailored care. My approach is particularly effective in addressing conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma-related issues, and other psychiatric conditions.
During the initial visit, patients can expect a comprehensive, detailed evaluation designed to thoroughly understand their individual experiences and needs. I prioritize establishing a compassionate and comfortable environment where patients can openly discuss their concerns and goals. This initial assessment is followed by meticulous and thoughtful follow-ups, providing clarity and direction in the treatment process.
I am a board-certified Psychiatrist in Adult Psychiatry. I received my bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University and a master's in Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics from Stony Brook University. I earned my medical degree from Hofstra-Northwell School of Medicine and completed my residency at Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson School of Medicine, where I specialized in advanced psychopharmacology with diverse patient populations. I also have extensive training and experience in psychotherapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, habit-reversal therapy, and cognitive processing therapy. Following my training, I provided inpatient consultation and crisis intervention services in New York City.
