About
I'm a licensed psychiatrist practicing in New York. I work with adults navigating challenges — in their work, their relationships, and their sense of who they are — and I bring equal attention to the clinical and the personal.
My approach is collaborative and intentional: I listen first, prescribe thoughtfully when it helps, and treat the conversation itself as a meaningful part of the work.

I teach a course on the integration of psychotherapy and medication to psychiatry residents at the Mount Sinai Hospital.
Services
I offer both psychodynamic psychotherapy and medication management. By keeping medications and therapy in the same room, we can understand symptoms in the broader context of your life rather than in isolation. If our work includes medications only, I seek to understand what the treatment means to you based on your distinctive history, proclivities, and goals.
I integrate modern neuroscience with psychodynamic techniques to provide care that is nuanced, personal, and rigorous. Over time, we disentangle the many threads driving symptoms, understanding not only what they are, but what they mean. This process brings both insight and relief. Medication may be one part of this process, but is rarely the whole of it.
Psychological challenges rarely fit neatly into a singular bucket. With that caveat in mind, I offer treatment for the following difficulties:
- - Anxiety
- - Depression
- - Insomnia
- - ADHD
- - OCD
- - Bipolar Disorder
- - Life transitions
- - Relationship struggles
- - Professional challenges
- - Questions of identity and meaning
Fees & Insurance
I accept Aetna PPO and Anthem BCBS as well as private pay. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, I'm glad to accept them, and I'll provide the documentation you need to seek reimbursement.
As much as possible, I work with patients to find a fee that works for them — please raise it with me, and we'll talk it through.
