Great to meet you!

I am a board certified psychiatrist and sleep medicine specialist with over 10 years of experience helping people improve their mental health.

I completed my psychiatry residency from Albany Medical College and sleep medicine fellowship from University of Michigan.

I work with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, sleep issues among others. I am not able to do initial evaluation for ADHD at this time.

My approach to therapy

My approach includes focusing on modifiable factors in your medical and social history that can impact mental health. Medications are a powerful tool in treating psychiatric illnesses but they are just one tool.

I am a specialist in sleep disorders and skillful at utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).

What you can expect from me

In our appointments, you can expect to leave with a clear understanding of your treatment plan, why each step is being recommended, and what to expect next.
