As a board-certified psychiatrist and therapist, I help my patients to reduce stress levels and improve the quality of their lives through compassionate, comprehensive treatment. Although I work with both men and women, I am passionate about helping women struggling with anxiety and mood symptoms occurring with pregnancy, infertility, menses, and menopause.

Women are often expected to be strong during these life-altering events and may feel ashamed when they find themselves experiencing apprehension and uncomfortable changes in their mood and body. I offer women empathetic care that integrates therapy, medication (when necessary), and collaboration with their other health providers including OBGYNs and primary care doctors. I believe in treating my patients as whole persons, taking both their mental and physical health into consideration. As everyone is unique, I work with my clients to develop tailored, holistic treatment plans which may involve recommendations for exercise, eating right, meditation, yoga, and other wellness treatments in addition to my direct care.

My credentials include:

• Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Johns Hopkins University  
• MD from the NYU School of Medicine
• General psychiatry residency and psychosomatic medicine fellowship at NYU
• Board-certified by the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine
• Associate Professor of Psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine
• Candidate at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Education
