I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and psychotherapist, licensed in New York and Connecticut. I completed psychiatry residency at the University of Chicago and forensic psychiatry fellowship at Yale.

I have extensive experience treating people during all stages of psychiatric illness, from stabilizing acute symptoms to maintaining stability and wellness. I was formerly an inpatient attending psychiatrist at New York Presbyterian Hospital’s Westchester campus on the acute psychosis unit, women’s unit, and psychiatric intensive care unit. I monitored complex cases across the diagnostic spectrum, including depressive, anxiety, trauma, mood, and psychotic disorders. I worked with multidisciplinary teams to conduct careful evaluations, monitor symptom improvement, and ensure tolerability to medications.

Currently, I remain voluntary faculty at Weill Cornell Medicine and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at New York Presbyterian Hospital. There, I continue to treat people in hospital settings.

I have a special interest in ethics and have led patient equity initiatives through national fellowships. I served as a SAMHSA research fellow under the American Psychiatric Association. I was awarded federal funding to investigate disparities in the use of chemical sedation and physical restraints to manage patient agitation in the emergency room. I later served as a Medical Justice Fellow under the American Medical Association and Morehouse School of Medicine. During my tenure, I was awarded funding to investigate the availability of psychiatric medications in state prison systems across the United States.

I have published and presented nationally on agitation management, psychiatric care in correctional systems, bias, and the interaction between culture and how we think about illness.
