Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New York

I’m a board certified psychiatrist who places a high value on both psychotherapy and evidence-based medication management. I am dedicated to providing compassionate care for individuals experiencing anxiety and mood disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and PTSD, and ADHD.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like themselves. Many of my patients come in with anxiety, depression, mood changes, sleep problems, or difficulty functioning the way they want to in daily life.

My approach is clear, structured, and collaborative. I do more than prescribe medication. I help you understand what may be contributing to your symptoms, what your options are, and what a realistic plan looks like moving forward.

If you’ve ever left an appointment feeling rushed or unsure about what to do next, my goal is to make sure that doesn’t happen here.

Starting in therapy creates space to voice your thoughts while receiving support, validation and other perspectives to explore. When struggling with self-doubt, critical self talk, and the weight of societal expectations around identity, relationships or image a place to talk it through is crucial. These thought patterns can become barriers to effective communication, self care and greatly affect our mental health. We all deserve a space to be heard and process these experiences. A part of the therapy process is bringing awareness to how these internal narratives and external experiences influence anxiety, depression, mood and self-esteem.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, substance use, stress, or major life transitions, I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I work with adults 18+ who are ready to better understand themselves, build healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change in their lives. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely connected with your therapist. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental.
