Overview
With over six years of work experience in psychiatry, I am a passionate, dedicated psychiatrist and assistant professor at Columbia University Medical Center. I obtained my MD from Yale School of Medicine, and completed residency in adult psychiatry as well as a women's mental health fellowship at Columbia University Medical Center. Following residency, I completed a Community Psychiatry fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. I specialize in community psychiatry, women's mental health, psychotherapy, and psychopharmacology.
