Mental Healthcare on the Upper West Side
About me:
I am a psychiatrist in New York, NY who works with adults and provides care for patients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and psychosis. I specialize in patients who have felt out of control or have difficulties in their experiences or perceptions of things around them. I believe that symptoms have a story behind them and aim to help my patients understand their thoughts and feelings. Even if our focus will be medication management, I want to understand how medication fits in with your personal narrative, history, or family history. From there, my focus will be to help you recognize and manage symptoms and improve coping.
I completed my MD at the University of Chicago and residency training at New York Presbyterian/Columbia University. In addition to experience with psychopharmacology, I have experience with psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I have been in practice for 4 years.
I believe my patients are courageous and capable. I'm curious about them and passionate about helping them achieve their goals. If you are experiencing any struggles or simply want someone to chat with, please reach out via email or phone to schedule an appointment.
