I am available for consultation to help you determine what type(s) of treatment may best meet your needs, and if I do not provide that treatment I can assist you with finding the appropriate referral which will work for you.

The services I offer are individual Psychotherapy once or twice per week, Psychoanalysis up to several times a week, and balanced medication management on its own, within the context of therapy, or in collaboration with another provider.  My Psychoanalytic background is in the Interpersonal-Relational tradition, emphasizing the role of experiences with people in understanding problems we face, in addition to more traditional factors having to do with the individual.

I am comfortable working with difficult-to-discuss areas, and have experience working with trauma and abuse, loss and grieving, questions about what to do with your life and career, problems with your sense of selfhood, repetitive problems finding satisying relationships, addiction-related concerns, issues with anxiety and depression, and the newly-emerging and as-yet-undefined problems facing young people today.

In addition to the above, I also work with conditions such as bipolar disorder, severe depression, severe anxiety and panic, and other problems generally thought to require medical intervention.

My education includes in addition to medical school, two years of Surgical residency at Long Island Jewish Hospital, full Psychiatric training at the Mount Sinai Hospital including board certification in Adult Psychiatry, and completed Psychoanalytic training and Organizational Dynamics training at the William Alanson White Institute.  I am on faculty at the William Alanson White Institute and the Mount Sinai Hospital and supervise Psychiatric residents at Beth Isreal and St. Vincent's hospitals, among other professional positions and activities.
