I am a board-certified psychiatrist committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based, and person‐centered care to individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health challenges. My training includes a general psychiatry residency in New Jersey and an advanced Addiction Psychiatry/NIDA‐T32 Research Fellowship at Columbia University in New York City, where I received specialized experience in the treatment of substance use disorders, comorbidity, and academic research.
I believe that our mental and emotional state shapes how we experience and perceive life. Through my work with diverse populations, I have learned how important it is to prioritize mental health in order to create meaningful change and find fulfillment. Using my clinical experience, I now focus on working with adults who struggle with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges.
I'm so glad you're here. Let's explore and prioritize your growth, agency, and resilience.
My clients appreciate learning about themselves through eclectic sessions that combine verbal processing with somatic experiencing and creative exploration. I strive to center the growing self-expertise of my clients within an anti-oppressive therapy framework. I have experience working with neurodiverse, queer, trans, poly, kink, and clients exploring altered states.
