About
Where medicine
meets meaning.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist practicing in New York City, where I see children, adolescents, and adults for psychotherapy and medication management. I have been in clinical practice for over 20 years. I completed my training in adult psychiatry at Yale University and in child and adolescent psychiatry at NYU, and I currently serve as Clinical Instructor in Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine.
I have a particular interest in psychedelic medicine as part of my practice for select existing patients. This work is medically supervised, integrated into ongoing care, and embedded within a therapeutic relationship.
A different kind of psychiatric practice.
I offer individualized psychiatric care grounded in relationship, time, and attention. My work spans psychotherapy and medication management for children, adolescents, and adults — with a focus on understanding the person, not just the diagnosis.
For select existing patients, I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as part of an ongoing therapeutic relationship, fully integrated into a broader treatment plan, and conducted under close medical supervision.

Let's Talk →Comprehensive psychiatric care for adults navigating depression, anxiety, Complex-PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other conditions. Treatment plans are individualized and may include medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions — always with an emphasis on understanding the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
Specialized evaluation and treatment for children and adolescents facing emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges — including ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, and school-related difficulties. I work closely with families to create supportive, age-appropriate care plans that honor each young person's experience.
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy is offered exclusively to existing patients as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It is not a standalone service. This work is medically supervised, carefully structured, and embedded within an ongoing therapeutic relationship — with dedicated preparation and integration to support lasting change.
