As a psychiatrist at NYU Langone, my goal is to help individuals lead meaningful lives in accordance with their values. Among other concerns, I treat those seeking help with sleep, mood, anxiety, memory, and concentration. Even though these issues are diverse, they are often intertwined in complex ways that are unique to each patient. I prioritize getting to know each individual in order to tailor an approach that fits their personality and the evolving realities of their life.
I originally became interested in studying the brain to better understand consciousness. I investigated electrical brain signals in epilepsy patients for my PhD, and my work now includes research to help those struggling with a range of neurological and psychiatric conditions. My clinical approach is informed by my scientific training. I believe in enlisting careful observation, reason, and creative expression in the service of helping my patients solve problems that, at first, may feel too big to comprehend.
For that reason, and because its effectiveness has been shown in clinical trials and in many of my own patients, I offer insight-oriented psychotherapy among my treatment options. I also use medications, elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy and subspecialty referrals as part of my approach, if that is what is best for helping that individual achieve their goals.
I have been at NYU Langone through and since my residency and am honored to have been entrusted with the care of so many who call New York home.
