Hippocrates stated: "it is more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has". Each individual presents unique issues that require tailored, collaborative treatment. A practicing physician for over thirty years, I have dedicated my life to helping individuals balance their mental and physical well-being. My practice and Integrative Center for Wellness focus on incorporating psychiatric treatments with nutritional therapies to calibrate balance between mind and body. With expertise in bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, ADHD, stuttering and weight management, among others.

My broad education - medical school at Case, cultural psychiatry at Harvard, residency training at Yale - has helped me understand that people need help throughout life. I treat adults ages 18 and over with a wide range of problems, including anxiety and depression. I can work with you to make sense of tough transitions like grief, relationship issues, balancing family roles, divorce, not meeting expectations at work or school, and medical illnesses. As former advisor to Yale's University Chaplain, I know how people who are suffering search for hope. I teach and supervise psychotherapy at Columbia where I am a full professor.
