About
Careful, unhurried psychiatric care for people thinking seriously about their lives.
I'm a psychiatrist practicing in New York. I work with adults navigating change — 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 conservative: I listen first, prescribe thoughtfully when it helps, and treat the conversation itself as a meaningful part of the work.

How I Work
Psychiatry and psychotherapy, held together rather than handed off.
Much of mental health care is divided — one clinician for medication, another for talk. I keep them in the same room. That continuity makes it possible to understand symptoms in the context of a whole life rather than in isolation.
Sessions are longer than the fifteen-minute norm, and the pace is deliberate. We work toward clarity about what is actually happening, what is worth changing, and what is simply worth understanding. Medication, when it has a role, is one part of a larger conversation — never the whole of it.
The aim is not only relief from symptoms but a steadier relationship with yourself.

Fees & Insurance
I keep the practice out-of-network so that sessions stay unhurried.
I'm not in-network with any insurance plans. 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.
Cost shouldn't be the reason care doesn't happen. 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.
