I went to medical school at Case Western Reserve University, studied cultural psychiatry and medical anthropology at Harvard University, and trained at Yale University. Along with my private practice, I conduct research at Columbia University. I treat many common problems, including:
depression
bipolar disorders
anxiety (panic attacks, performance anxiety, test anxiety)
insomnia
attention deficit-hyperactivity
psychosis
trauma
perinatal and post-partum depression and anxiety
addiction (*recovering patients only)
Many patients have problems with work, relationships, and identity that may not fit diagnostic categories. These include:
work stress and frustration
work-life imbalance (especially among bankers, traders, and managers)
low self esteem
difficulty adjusting to chronic medical conditions
setting expectations for new parents
transitions to retirement
end of life conflicts
problems with acculturation for immigrants
LGBT concerns (identity, coming out)
I have been fortunate to receive several distinctions throughout my career. I have been awarded prestigious fellowships and grants for my research from:
the National Institute of Mental Health
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services,
the American Psychiatric Association,
the New York State Office of Mental Health,
the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry
Harvard University
Yale University
I am also an advisor to the DSM-5 Cultural Issues Subgroup. I offer consultation for patients, mental health professionals, and businesses specializing in mental health care. I will work with your insurance company to maximize your reimbursement.
