I’ve always been fascinated by what shapes our emotions, decisions, and sense of purpose. That curiosity led me to study psychology at Yeshiva University, earn my MD from Sackler School of Medicine in Tel Aviv, and complete psychiatry residency at Community Memorial Healthcare, where I served as Chief Resident and helped establish psychiatric services at Cal State Channel Islands. I’m currently completing a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Northwell/Zucker Hillside Hospital, with an elective specializing in Tics and OCD.

My approach blends psychotherapy and medication when needed, always with a conservative, collaborative mindset. I work closely with therapists to ensure coordinated care and clear communication. Above all, I strive to provide treatment that is warm, thoughtful, and rooted in trust — helping patients gain stability, confidence, and a more fulfilling connection to their lives.
