About Me

A young woman with short black hair and a big smile, wearing a black sleeveless top and a necklace, standing against a brick wall.

As a bicultural, east coast native with extensive time spent on the west coast and abroad, I have a particular focus on how cultural identities, from the family unit to national allegiances, form our self-expression, sense of purpose, and values. I am also a musician and athlete, and therefore encourage the development of other forms of self-knowing and expression that may feel home to you.

I am a Columbia and Stanford University trained board-certified general adult psychiatrist licensed in New York and California. I provide psychotherapy and medication management services for adults eighteen and older.

Although my services are conducted in English, I have some fluency in Spanish, Portuguese, and German.
