Biography
I believe in an individual, empathetic, and collaborative treatment approach. I have developed expertise in treating various mental health conditions including mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and PTSD. While my primary focus is medication management, I also incorporate CBT, psychodynamic, and supportive psychotherapy. My goal is empowering patients to participate in their healthcare choices. As a psychiatrist, I feel honored to witness the complexity of the human experience, and curious to explore the factors that contribute to it.
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist with 8 years of experience. I completed my medical training at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn and my psychiatric residency at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, NYC. After my residency, I worked as an assistant professor at Mount Sinai Psychiatric Ambulatory Services. I graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University with an undergraduate degree in biology. Prior to moving to New York, I obtained a degree in communications and public relations and worked as a journalist in my hometown in Latvia.
On the intake appointment, I will take time to understand your concern, provide an assessment, discuss treatment options, and collaboratively decide on the most appropriate action. Follow-up appointments are usually 30 minutes and include a psychotherapy modality.
