I’m a Board Certified Psychiatrist, with 15 years of experience, specialized in diagnosis and medication management of ADD/ADHD, Anxiety disorders, Depression/mood disorders, PTSD, and several other psychiatric diagnoses.

I graduated from medical school at NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine and thereafter completed my Postgraduate training in Psychiatry at Bergen Regional Medical Center (NJ) in 2013. After my Psychiatric training, I went on to pursue a subspecialty training fellowship in Geriatric Psychiatry at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, which I completed in 2014. After graduating from the Fellowship program, I began practicing as an Inpatient Geriatric Psychiatrist at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital, NY, where I was an Associate Professor of Psychiatry. I practiced at Mount Sinai for four years until I went on to practice at Maimonides Medical Center in 2018. At this Brooklyn-based hospital, I worked as an Inpatient Psychiatry Attending and did monthly shift work as an Emergency Room Attending. During this period, I had the opportunity to teach Psychiatric residents while they completed their clinical rotations. Practicing in both the emergency and inpatient settings for those first 6 years after my training provided me with extensive experience in treating acutely ill patients.

During those 6 years, I also had the opportunity to gain experience in Telemedicine/Telepsychiatry: In 2016, while still working at Mt. Sinai St. Luke’s, I started working a few shifts a month with the Emergency Telepsychiatry department at Lenox Hill Hospital, NY. It was during my Telepsychiatry experience at Lenox Hill Hospital that I began to love working with telepsychiatry services—I started working with an Outpatient Telemedicine practice, and soon after, decided to start my practice. I intended to have fewer time constraints and more flexibility to apply the philosophy behind my medical training —treating the whole person.
