As the associate director for emergency psychiatry, I work with a team of providers to guide patients through profound crises. When patients arrive, we collaborate with emergency, inpatient, and outpatient services to ensure their safety and care.

My goal is to come to understand each patient's history, values, and beliefs, in a brief window, ensuring each patient receives the appropriate level of care within our larger hospital system. I am privileged to work alongside NYU Langone's dedicated team of clinicians, nurses, and social workers, all committed to mental healthcare.

I specialize in adult and consult-liaison psychiatry, with a particular focus on psycho-oncology, the psychiatric complications of cancer care. My background in consult-liaison psychiatry emphasizes cross-disciplinary coordination, which has been invaluable in the emergency department. I believe that illness is never purely psychiatric or physical; the body and mind are interconnected, and both must be considered in patient care.

Throughout my career, I have focused on proactive healthcare engagement, which extends to my research and clinical interests. I have published on the psychiatric treatment of cancer patients and in palliative care settings. My clinical interests include psychotherapy for patients facing major life changes or medical diagnoses. I am also particularly focused on de-escalating behavioral emergencies in hospital settings.

As part of NYU Langone, I am committed to providing comprehensive and coordinated care, ensuring that patients receive the support they need during their most challenging times.

Research Summary

As the Associate Medical Director for the psychiatric emergency room, I help patients through some of their most profound crises. When patients arrive, we collaborate with emergency, inpatient, and outpatient services to ensure their safety and care. Our goal is to understand each patient's history, values, and beliefs within a brief window, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of care. I am privileged to work alongside NYU's dedicated team of clinicians, nurses, and social workers, all committed to mental health care.

My background is in Adult and Consult-Liaison (C/L) Psychiatry, specializing in the psychiatric complications of medical illnesses, with a particular focus on cancer care (psycho-oncology). C/L psychiatry emphasizes cross-disciplinary coordination, which has been invaluable in the emergency room. I believe that illness is never purely psychiatric or medical; the body and mind are interconnected, and both must be considered in patient care.

Academically, I have published on the psychiatric treatment of cancer patients and in palliative care settings. My clinical interests include existential and dynamically-oriented psychotherapy for individuals facing major life changes or medical diagnoses. I trained in meaning-centered psychotherapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering and am particularly focused on deescalating behavioral emergencies in hospital settings.
