Biography
I believe in creating a strong therapeutic alliance with my patients based on mutual trust and honesty. My primary modality of treatment is medication management, but I may also provide supportive psychotherapy and education, practicing evidence-based medicine. I like to collaborate patient care with their medical providers and/or therapist. I have extensive experience in evaluating and managing a variety of psychiatric disorders such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, dementia, etc.
I am double board certified in adult and geriatric psychiatry. I completed my residency at Nassau University Medical Center, New York, and then completed a fellowship in geriatric psychiatry at LIJ-Albert Einstein school, New York. I have been practicing psychiatry for over 25 years. I held an academic position as a clinical assistant professor at Rutgers-UBHC for several years. I have worked in various clinical settings including inpatient, outpatient clinics, partial hospital programs, and nursing homes, serving a vast variety of patient populations.
I have also volunteered my services at NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness)-SAMHAJ to create and promote awareness of mental health issues in the community.
