I am a board-certified, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specializing in diagnosis, medication management, and therapy. Since graduating from Columbia School of Nursing in 2012, I have gained extensive experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and families with a wide range of symptoms. Addressing mental health issues can be scary, especially for children and parents. I work with families to create a calming and trusting environment. Clients and families are encouraged to discuss their wants, needs, and fears, which in turn helps to destigmatize the process.

As a board-certified child and adolescent, and adult psychiatrist- I am experienced in considering how aspects of a person's family background, developmental history, and biological factors build upon each other to contribute to their current clinical picture.
I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults to feel better understood as individuals, reach their personal goals, and forge more meaningful relationships. This can be particularly challenging for those who have experienced trauma in the past, and I am committed to helping these individuals attain the same level of fulfillment in their lives.

I am an adult, child, and adolescent psychiatrist working primarily through individual psychotherapy. I see most of my patients on at least a weekly basis. Although I do sometimes prescribe medication, the management of medication is not my primary focus. I believe in psychotherapy because it is more effective than medication for most concerns, and because it can be a powerful, relationship-based experience that works to close past wounds. As a therapist, I try to always be open and compassionate as I listen and intervene.

I am a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist who sees patients of all ages both for psychotherapy and medication management. I take pride in how carefully I get to know patients and families. With warmth, humor, and kindness, I perform thorough diagnostic assessments, considering how biologic predispositions, developmental challenges, family dynamics, life stressors, and cultural factors contribute to patients' symptoms. I do extensive psychotherapy myself with patients of all ages, supplementing with medication only when necessary. I also collaborate with other therapists as needed to provide medication management.

I enjoy working with children of all ages and young adults.
My interests in working in psychiatry started very early. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at a young age. Living with a chronic condition has taught me about the intimate connection between mind and body and the power of one to influence the other. I am a board certified Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist. In every stage of my training, I sought to deepen my understanding of this connection, and develop skills to help patients maintain a balance between the two. I specialize in treating children with chronic medical conditions; particularly type 1 diabetes, but also many other conditions.

The world can be a difficult place, and my calling is to help by getting to know you as a human being with a story. I specialize in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry — I treat a wide range of ages and difficulties. There are times when the careful use of medication may be helpful and even life-saving — and medication may not always address the needs of the whole person. I can also help you write and rewrite your story with an integration of compassion, common sense, and years of experience in a variety of evidence-based psychotherapies. I am licensed in NY, CA, NJ, and CT.

Hello and Welcome. I am a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist who sees patients of all ages struggling with mood disorder, anxiety disorders, trauma, loss, ADHD, adjustment difficulties, attachment issues, family/social/professional stress and/or overall difficulty functioning. My aim is always to meet patients where they are and work jointly to get a thorough understanding of their symptoms, situation and all other contributing factors. I think of mental health as the cornerstone of overall health and therefore aim to work on resiliency and optimizing mental wellness as opposed to simply addressing illness.

I work with any person - child, adolescent, adult - who is seeking treatment. They may be suffering from depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder, among others. Or perhaps they have never been diagnosed with a clinical disorder, but are seeking help to reduce stress during a difficult time, such as a challenging life transition or the death of a loved one. Those seeking a highly individualized and comprehensive approach to mental health treatment might find my practice particularly attractive, given what it offers.

I hold a General Psychiatry degree from New York Presbyterian Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and a Child & Adolescent Psychiatry degree from New York University, where I am a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry.
It is a privilege to do what I do on a daily basis; working with the "body/mind connection". I love working with people and going through their life stages together; adolescents, college students, young adults and then adults. I believe that the modality of treatment should be suited to the patient's needs. I have trained through different schools and continue to do so. Once we work together on identifying their issues, we work on them with a "tailored treatment", that said; individual psychotherapy, mindfulness meditation, complementary treatment with vitamins, exercises and if needed medication.
