I'm a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in holistic care for high-achieving young professionals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I completed my residency at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, a clinical affiliate of Rutgers, with a background in neuroscience and psychology from UC Davis.
My approach blends evidence-based psychiatry with integrative medicine to address the root of what you're experiencing, not just the symptoms. I take a holistic approach with a strong emphasis on psychotherapy, exploring the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and identity that often sit behind symptoms. Medication can be a valuable tool and I use it judiciously and intentionally when appropriate. I do not prescribe controlled substances. My work is guided by genuine curiosity about what your symptoms are pointing to, not just what they are. The goal is improved quality of life, not just symptom management.
The first session is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, but it's also a conversation. I want to understand not just your symptoms but your story, what's changed, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping for. You can expect to feel heard rather than rushed through a checklist. By the end, we'll have a clear sense of what's going on and a direction forward together.
