Psychiatrists in New York, NY

I graduated from Rutgers University with a Doctor of Nursing Practice in Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree. I am an ANCC board-certified PMHNP-BC with ten years of experience in emergency and psychiatric nursing. My passion for healthcare drives me, and I strive to create a nurturing and trusting environment for you.

I am culturally sensitive & integrative in my approach and am always mindful to be caring, encouraging, attentive & supportive. I am able to prescribe traditional & nontraditional medications, but only as a last resort because there are so many other avenues to healing. I believe that achieving total wellness is about having the right conversation with the right person at the right time.

You are a high networth individual and seemingly have it all. But, you are a male survivor of sexual abuse or assault. Do you suffer from shame, guilt, fear, and relationship conflicts? Do you have persistent body insecurities or feel less than? There are many men who have survived and some have learned to thrive. You intellectually know it was never about sex, but rather the power dynamic. You likely did whatever you had to do to survive. Perhaps you are overachieving to feel loveable, good enough, worthy, to avoid or numb pain, to avoid feeling powerless again? Do you easily anger? It does not have to be this way.

I am a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, with a specialty in addiction psychiatry with an integrative psychiatry practice based on a diagnostic assessment and treatment guided by biological, psychological, social, and behavioral paradigms. I have a developmental orientation toward understanding human behavior. I have a special interest in attachment styles and their implications in interpersonal conflict in families and couples. I have a keen interest in the phase of life problems resulting in the major transitions in development such as the passage from adolescents to young adulthood, marriage, divorce, mid life adjustments, retirement, and grief and bereavement.
