Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New York

Hello and welcome to PSYCHIATRY SERVICES at my HEALTH AND WELLNESS professional office!

As a General (Adult) and Child/Adolescent Psychiatrist, I am passionate about empowering all ages on their journey towards mental health and well-being.

I completed a residency in General Psychiatry and fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Georgia's prestigious medical college, one of the oldest medical schools in the nation. This expert, specialized training has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to understand the unique psychological needs of children, adolescents, and adults.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist, and am also a Board Certified Pediatrician (triple-trained in General Pediatrics, General Psych, and Child/Adolescent Psych). I completed pediatrics residency at NYC’s only academic Children’s Hospital in Brooklyn, SUNY Downstate. Additionally, I graduated with a Master of Public Health with an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Health Communications from renowned Stony Brook University’s School of Medicine & their Journalism’s Center for Communicating Science, and graduated medical school with clinical accolades at NY’s oldest osteopathic college, NYIT.

For the last 19+ years I've helped some of New York's bravest, most creative beings dial down/alleviate distress of many flavors, shapes and sizes.

Holistic medication management provider specializing in integrative psychiatry, psychotherapy, and certified in Ketamine therapy. Affirming and supportive of single parents, minority, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities, working to eliminate mental health stigma and disparities.

My goal as a therapist is to help guide you toward authenticity while re-establishing interpersonal connections with those around you. Whether you’re looking to gain skills, problem-solving for everyday stress, or are experiencing major life events, we can explore and work toward your personal goals collaboratively. I have a specialty in working with individuals who don’t have a good relationship with food and are seeking to repair their body image, self-esteem, and comfortability with food.

I am a licensed psychologist since 2017 and have worked in a range of settings consisting of inpatient psychiatric facilities, community mental health, private practice, and nursing and rehabilitation facilities. I have served clients with wide a range of diversities (race, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and socio-economic status).

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering in person therapy. Therapy means we’re going to intentionally face the difficulties going on in your life (which requires amazing courage)! If you are looking for a genuine and compassionate person to be your ally and guide, I would love to help you create a life that feels more in line with your values.
