Hello there, I am looking forward to working with you. I completed my Residency at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. I also have a Master's in Physiology, and this background serves as a strength, as one's medical issues become as important as one's psychiatric issues, given the changes in kidney function, thyroid function, etc., and as the body and the mind are in the same space, they naturally affect each other. I enjoy teaching and helping you understand how your body works, and how the medications work to help you feel better, thus empowering you with the knowledge to make informed decisions. I also have extensive experience in the realm of substance abuse. My experience has helped me learn how to target the receptors that you were self-medicating, in a non-habit-forming way, thereby helping to balance your chemistry, while helping you come to terms with your narrative, and ultimately learning to live your best life. Please note that I do not prescribe controlled substances. If this is the care you are searching for, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
