I received my Doctor of Medicine Degree at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia.

My psychiatry residency training was at SUNY Downstate / Kings County Hospital Center in Brooklyn, NY.

My Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Certification training was at the Psychoanalytic Association of New York affiliated with NYU.

I am a current Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow at NYU.

I am currently an NYU Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow as well as a board Certified Adult Psychiatrist. I have experience working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, psychotic Spectrum Disorders, bipolar spectrum disorders as well as Acute and Complex PTSD. I also have a particular interest working with individuals with complex medical and mental health histories and am able to do evaluations for second opinions.

I have experience working with individuals who identify themselves as victims/survivors of domestic violence, gender based violence, and intimate partner Violence.

I have experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals. Including individuals who identify as transgender or non-binary.

I take a comprehensive, client-centered approach to treatment, integrating each person’s medical history, mental health background, current symptoms, and social context. Following an initial evaluation, I engage in collaborative treatment planning, ensuring that clients have the information and support they need to make informed decisions about their mental health care.

I provide both medical management and psychotherapy treatment. For many mental health disorders, psychotherapy is the initial treatment with the pairing of both medication and therapy only done after a psychiatric evaluation and determination of the potential benefit in adding medication to a treatment plan.
