I am a board certified psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. I received my medical degree from the Lebanese University then pursued a residency training in Psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic followed by a fellowship in Clinical Research of Mood Disorders at the National Institute of Mental Health. Coming to realise the limitations of psychopharmacology, I joined the William Alanson White Institute where I trained in Psychoanalysis then did a fellowship in Eating Disorders, Compulsions and Addictions (EDCAS).
