I’m a board-certified NY psychiatrist, who takes a healing-oriented approach to working with my clients.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist, specializing in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), which works to heal past traumatic experiences big and small. I use a compassionate approach that helps each client unlock their own innate capacity to grow and heal. I’m also adept in multiple other forms of psychotherapy, including practical approaches and emotions-based work. You may see me for psychotherapy, medications, or both.

I trained in General Psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine / Montefiore Medical Center and studied medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, both in New York City. I teach medical students and psychiatry residents at Albert Einstein / Montefiore. I am conversational in Japanese, Spanish and French.
