I am a board-certified psychiatrist based in Cold Spring, NY in the Hudson Valley. In my private practice, I work with adults at different life stages. I combine medications, psychotherapy, ketamine treatments, psychedelic integration, lifestyle changes, and natural medicines to offer treatment for depression and anxiety, life transitions, chronic illness, psychosis, bipolar disorder, grief, and existential struggles.
In life, we navigate personal relationships, our social and professional lives, and sometimes, medical illness. We want to feel fulfilled and meaningful. I believe in people’s ability to change and grow.
I endeavor to meet each person where they are in the therapeutic process, in alignment with their goals and values. My goal is to help each client deepen his or her self-understanding, embrace personal responsibility, engage in meaningful and authentic relationships, and balance independence with interdependence at every stage of life.
I am the Section Chief of Palliative Care, Chair of the Ethics Committee, and an associate Psychiatrist at Putnam Hospital in Carmel, NY. I earned my medical degree and completed a residency in psychiatry at The Ohio State University. I completed a fellowship in palliative care at Columbia University and Cornell University Medical Centers in Manhattan. I have worked in academic medical centers, community mental health centers, inpatient units, and outpatient clinics. I have treated teens and adults of all ages with depression, anxiety, psychosis, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric disorders with and without medical illness.
I look forward to bringing my background, experience, and knowledge to work with you to heal and grow in the areas of work, love and play in your life.
