Summary

I am a board-certified psychiatrist in practice since 2002. I completed residency at Mount Sinai in New York, and psychoanalytic and organizational training at the William Alanson White Institute. I specialize in treating depression and trauma & dissociation, and practice psychotherapy for people with various characterologic and interpersonal problems. Because of these interests, I am accustomed to working with people who have addictive and compulsive behaviors with food, shopping, drugs and alcohol, and other related areas. I am familiar with all of the contemporary issues around sexuality, gender and identity.

I treat people with transcranial magnetic stimulation in addition, and have found it to be a uniquely effective clinical tool. I have a considerable psychopharm practice as well, and emphasize collaboration with other providers and client-centered, individualized treatment.

I also have completed 2 years of general surgery residency at Long Island Jewish, which gives me an excellent foundation for working with patients with chronic and severe med-surg problems.

I have 10+ years of experience working in disaster psychiatry as well, and have done much work in NYC post-9/11, in Katrina, and abroad in Asia in the field, and trainings following multiple other international disasters. I am on the board of Disaster Psychiatry Outreach, and co-edited the volume Creating Spiritual and Psychological Resilience: Integrating Care in Disaster Relief Work, among other publications. I teach and supervise psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and trauma theory and treatment.
