About Me
As a consultation-liaison psychiatrist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, compassionate environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their mental health journey.
My specialty lies in the integration of mental healthcare with medical treatment for patients facing complex emotional and psychological challenges in hospital settings. With years of experience in the field, I have honed my skills in therapeutic intervention and medication management, always striving to improve my patients’ overall quality of life and help them achieve a sense of stability and wellbeing.
Throughout my career, I have emphasized proactive engagement in healthcare, working closely with medical teams to ensure that patients receive comprehensive care that addresses both their physical and mental wellbeing. I am dedicated to patient engagement, responsiveness, and fostering strong partnerships, all with the aim of ensuring a positive patient experience.
Born and raised in New York, I am proud to serve the vibrant community I call home and to be a part of the NYU Langone system, where I can collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients.
