About Me

About Me

I am a board-certified attending psychiatrist on faculty at NYU Langone. I also serve as the medical director of the Bellevue Hospital’s Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic.

• B.A. in Psychology, cum Laude - Columbia University

• M.D. Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia

• Psychiatry Residency - Mount Sinai Hospital

• Chief Resident - Mount Sinai Hospital

My experience has led me to place a great deal of value in getting to know the whole person and their life story, rather than focusing solely on symptoms or medications.

As both a physician and psychiatrist, I work to ensure that underlying medical conditions are not contributing to psychiatric symptoms or complicating treatment. I focus on evaluating and coordinating care with other members of the healthcare team, including psychotherapists, primary care doctors, and specialists.  Where clinically appropriate, I may recommend medication to address active concerns.  At the same time, I often incorporate talk therapy techniques —   drawn from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)—into our medication management visits, using a holistic approach to treatment that addresses both the mind and body.
