Biography
I believe that understanding and compassion are fundamental to effective psychiatric care. I provide engaged, patient-centered treatment, focusing on reducing symptoms and restoring well-being. My approach includes comprehensive evaluations, thoughtful medication management, supportive therapy, and the development of stress management skills. I treat youth ages 13–17 and adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. For adolescent patients, I include parental involvement during a portion of appointments to discuss progress and treatment plans.
During the first visit, patients can expect a comprehensive evaluation in which I take time to understand their symptoms, history, and goals. I foster a collaborative and compassionate environment, ensuring that treatment plans are personalized and patient-centered. My approach may include medication management, therapy recommendations, and stress management techniques to support patients in achieving their mental health and well-being goals.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry with over 20 years of clinical experience. I earned my medical degree from the University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine and completed my adult, child, and adolescent psychiatry training at NYU School of Medicine. I also have specialized training in psychodynamic psychotherapy from the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. Before joining Talkiatry, I served as Chief of Adult Behavioral Health at a busy urban community health clinic.
