I am a board-certified psychiatrist with experience treating depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and ADHD. I have worked in multiple psychiatric treatment settings in the Harvard system in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings.
I have also worked at McLean Hospital providing medication management and therapy for diagnostically complex cases in the Division of Psychotic Disorders and Division of Alcohol, Drugs, and Addiction. I also have experience using different therapies (DBT, psychodynamic treatment, ACT) in conjunction with medications to achieve the best outcomes for my patients.
I have worked with young professionals, executives, and college students to navigate complicated mental health issues. For me, it is extremely rewarding to help my patients during these difficult times.
I have a dual physician license in Massachusetts and New York. I offer in-person and virtual visits for Massachusetts and virtual visits for New York residents.
My patients have described my therapeutic style as responsive, detail-oriented, and humorous. Feel free to schedule a call with to see for yourself if I would be a good fit for you!
