"Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy--the experiences that make us the most vulnerable.

I completed my general psychiatry training at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I also completed subspecialty fellowship training at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and the New York University School of Medicine.
I specialize in treating young adults & adults for a wide variety of issues including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, ADHD, substance abuse disorders, and LGBT issues. My treatment philosophy is to take a holistic approach to patient care which includes psychotherapy, proper diet and exercise, and for some patients, medication management.
