My areas of focus were influenced by life and professional experiences. My psychiatric training at New York University was based largely upon the person-centered (Rogerian) approach to therapy. The person-centered therapist provides clients with an unconditional positive regard to help them grow toward their potential. This comes naturally to me. My interactions with clients are guided by this mindset. I have gained expertise in managing childhood and adolescent disorders at Four Winds Hospital, a predominantly pediatric hospital. At Mosaic Mental Health, I have gained experience in treating adults struggling with a wide range of psychiatric disorders.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, which comes as a second nature for me. I am a good listener; I am non-judgmental and have a calm and empathetic manner with clients.

Clients are encouraged to reach out to me for a free consultation to discuss why the client is seeking help and what services I can provide. Should the client and I decide to proceed and begin treatment, a psychiatric evaluation will be scheduled. The psychiatric evaluation is more comprehensive than the consultation and will often take 60-minutes to complete. At the end of the evaluation, the client and I will discuss goals and a treatment plan that will help move the client toward achieving those goals.
