Great to meet you!

I am a Harvard- and Yale-trained psychiatrist and psychotherapist, licensed in New York and Connecticut. I provide comprehensive, dynamically oriented treatment that integrates psychotherapy, medication management, and personalized coaching. My background includes working with graduate and professional students, working professionals, military service members, and veterans who navigate high-pressure academic and career environments, as well as relationship challenges.

My approach to therapy

My approach is integrative and grounded in psychodynamic principles, while also incorporating evidence-based techniques and, when appropriate, medication management. I encourage clients to actively explore their inner world, confront limiting patterns, and challenge themselves to move beyond their comfort zones. I have extensive experience treating a broad spectrum of mental health concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, addiction, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and other chronic mental illnesses. Depending on each client’s unique needs and goals, I tailor our work together—whether it’s through in-depth psychotherapy, focused medication management, or goal-oriented coaching.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a supportive, collaborative environment that fosters personal insight and growth. By helping you understand and transform unhelpful patterns, we work toward building resilience and cultivating strategies that promote well-being. My aim is to empower you to overcome obstacles and break free from constraints—gaining clarity, enhancing self-awareness, and ultimately experiencing transformative change that enriches both your personal and professional life.
