I offer clients personalized psychiatric care, including medicine management alone or integrated with psychotherapy. For those already working with a therapist, I’m glad to provide medicine management in close collaboration with their therapist. For others seeking a more unified experience, combining therapy and medicines in one setting can offer clarity, continuity, and cost-effectiveness.
Based in Lower Manhattan, I offer in-person sessions as well as virtual care. My approach is warm, engaged, and informed by traditional, psychedelic, and cutting-edge tools—including ketamine-assisted therapy where appropriate. Whether you're looking to begin psychiatric care or seeking a second opinion, I provide a space that is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your goals.
