I am a double board-certified adult psychiatrist and addiction psychiatrist licensed in NY and NJ. I have a special interest in treating patients dealing with mood and psychotic disorders with co-occurring substance use disorders. My approach is to actively listen and motivate patients to bring positive changes in their life.
