I am a resident in Psychiatry at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. I am a member of an outpatient Psychiatric Practice, working under the supervision of Jason Shimiaie MD. My practice focuses on women’s mental health where I address the unique challenges they face throughout various life stages. This includes emotional difficulties related to premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), as well as mood changes associated with perimenopause and menopause. I also specialize in supporting women through their reproductive journeys, offering care during preconception planning, fertility challenges, and peripartum mental health.
My approach integrates both medication management and psychotherapy to provide comprehensive care. My care is individualized, and I often include partners and loved ones in the treatment process when beneficial.
I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment where patients feel heard and understood. My goal is to empower my patients to achieve optimal emotional and personal well-being, guiding them towards lasting mental health with thoroughly tailored treatment plans.
