Introduction

I am a board-certified psychiatrist based in Stockbridge, MA, specializing in intensive therapy and medication management that centers your agency and growth. I believe in developing a deeply collaborative partnership with you: a space where you can actively understand, make meaning of, and navigate your emotional experiences. Together, we will work toward building a more purpose-driven life. I help individuals clarify complex psychological dynamics and explore how they intersect with medication prescribing and usage. My goal is to ensure medication is a tool that supports your personal growth rather than just a way to mask symptoms. For the past decade, I have worked across a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics, intensive outpatient programs, ACT teams, residential centers, and hospitals. After completing my psychiatry residency at Mount Sinai Morningside West in New York City, I honed my skills with specialized psychoanalytic training at the renowned Austen Riggs Center. My extensive training allows me to draw from multiple treatment modalities, predominantly psychodynamic, and including trauma-informed, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), and motivational interviewing. We will tailor our work to your needs. If you are ready to explore your emotional world and take an active role in your treatment, I am here to support you. Contact me today to schedule an initial consultation and see if we are a good fit.
