Psychiatrist

Licensed Physician in New York City

Psychotherapy

  • In our first meeting we will discuss your treatment history as well as your current goals and expectations for our collaboration. After our initial evaluation, I will share my thoughts on what I feel will be most beneficial, and together we will then create a personalized and comprehensive psychotherapy treatment plan. I typically draw from psychoanalytic theory and practice but also employ cognitive-behavioral techniques as well.

Medication Management

  • In our initial meetings we will take a thorough history of psychotropic medications you have tried in the past, and work together to develop a personalized plan to assess your needs and goals for treatment. I will work closely with other providers (primary care, specialists, therapists etc) to optimize your medication regimen and assure that your medical history, past and current treatments as well as other medications you take are all considered in the process.

Couples and Family Therapy

  • The goal of couples therapy is to assess the active dynamics in your relationship, the goals of each individual and come to a shared understanding of the unique challenges in your past and present life as a couple. Typically I will meet with each individual early in the treatment process to get a better sense of each person’s specific perspective, and then we will work together to further understand and improve your relationship dynamics if possible.

  • The aim of family therapy is to assess the needs of each family member as well as the collective and dynamic challenges specific to each family unit. Together we will seek to understand the unique challenges of your family and I help will create clear expectations for respectful and honest communication. Our work will focus on fostering a more cooperative family environment.
