About Me:
I am double boarded in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, and Adult Psychiatry. I am licensed to practice medicine in California and New Jersey and currently accepting new patients from these states. I am only seeing people by telepsychiatry at this time.
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area before moving to the East Coast where I attended Brown University for college. After graduating from college I attended medical school at the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine in Pennsylvania. I completed my adult psychiatry training at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai- Beth Israel in Manhattan. After this I returned to Pennsylvania where I completed my child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia/University of Pennsylvania. While in fellowship I served as a chief fellow, and collaborated with pediatricians across Philadelphia integrating behavior management strategies for ADHD into outpatient settings. I have worked as an emergency room psychiatrist at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. I have also worked in intensive outpatient programs, and as a psychiatrist/therapist in outpatient clinics in California and New Jersey. In addition to this practice, I am a staff psychiatrist working for the Atlantic Health System in New Jersey where I treat patients of all ages.

Therapy Modalities:
-In addition to being able to prescribe medications when indicated, I have specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for depression and anxiety disorders.
-I provide parent coaching for the management of oppositional or disruptive behaviors.
-I have a special interest in helping with school avoidance and have given numerous academic presentations on this topic. There is a number of reasons why a child may have difficulties with school attendance. I work closely with children, families, and their school to provide strategies that get children back to school in some of the most challenging cases of absenteeism.
