ABOUT

I am a Columbia-trained psychotherapist and integrative psychiatrist who offers a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to your mental health care. If you are feeling stuck, anxious, and fatigued or you are trying to make sense of a diverse and multifaceted life experience, I can help. I provide personalized treatments that combine talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness exercises, and nutritional supplementation to effect meaningful change. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative, and I make use of my training in medicine, science, and mindfulness practices to help you resolve your symptoms and feel more settled.
