Being a psychiatrist for over 20 years; i had the privilege of helping people navigate life hardest moments and helping patients heal and thrive. After completing my residency at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, NY, within Northwell Health System, I have dedicated my career to treating adults across a wide range of settings ncluding inpatient units, emergency rooms, and community health centers, and my goal is to make sure you feel truly heard and cared for from the very first session. I work with adults experiencing almost all mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia , substance induced mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, eating disorders, substance use disorders in remission and more.

My approach is rooted in empathic listening, clinical expertise, and compassionate care. 

My treatment philosophy combines psychopharmacology with supportive psychotherapy, always tailored to the individual. My first goal is to understand each patient ,then provide the most effective, evidence-based care possible.

Personal Interests
