ABOUT ME I am a board-certified psychiatrist practicing in NY State and Georgia . I combine my general psychiatry practice with gender-affirming care in adults and adolescents, in accordance with state laws. I have been in private psychiatric practice since 2012, and before that I practiced internal medicine. I treat individuals age 10 and up in an adult setting. I went to Duke University for pre-med (BS psychology) and then Emory University School of Medicine. I did my internal medicine residency at Emory also, was on staff at Emory, and was also in private practice before I went back to my psychiatry residency (State University at Stony Brook, Chief Resident, 2012). MY APPROACH I bring the dual training and years of experience treating the breadth and depth of psychiatry. I enjoy helping those who have had treatment-resistant conditions, and have a friendly, kind, and collaborative approach. I know many who come to me are scared, nervous, or feel like you are being dragged there (teens, I see you. and I will hear you). I believe in a least amount of medicine approach, but of course, we have outstanding old, and new medications and alternative treatments today which can often be the answer. I assess and treat using a bio-psycho-social perspective (I'll explain when we are together, but suffice to say, it's not all about a pill). I incorporate therapeutic approaches as appropriate, needed, and desired (like CBT, DBT, psychodynamic and interpersonal therapies). I consider the client and I a TEAM; we work together in a fully informed fashion to get the individual to their goals. The path is discussed and decided upon TOGETHER. Finally: I get back to folks as soon as possible and typically by the end of that calendar day (because it stinks to be left hanging when you're worried). SERVICES I treat individuals with all psychiatric diagnoses ages 10 and up (if younger, we can discuss if this is appropriate). I provide gender-affirming care including hormones and blockers when allowed by state law. I operate in an adult office setting, and most session will be virtual; some patients will require an in-person session, and there is the option for more in-person sessions if desired.
