Services

I am a board-certified psychiatrist providing in-person care in Melville, NY, as well as telepsychiatry throughout New York State. I work with patients across the lifespan, with a particular focus on children, adolescents.

I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis, medication management, and psychotherapy. 

Care begins with a thorough evaluation that takes time to understand not only symptoms, but the broader context of a person’s life, including development, family dynamics, school or work demands, and prior experiences with treatment.

My approach is individualized and thoughtful. I use both medication and therapy intentionally, guided by careful clinical judgment and ongoing collaboration. The goal is not simply symptom relief, but helping patients and families gain clarity, stability, and a path forward that feels manageable and sustainable over time.

My practice integrates both medication management and psychotherapy. 

Medications, when appropriate, are prescribed carefully and conservatively, with close attention to response, side effects, and the broader context of a person’s life. 

Therapy is used to deepen understanding, support change, and address factors that medication alone cannot resolve.

I do not view treatment as a one-time decision, but as an ongoing process that evolves as a person grows, circumstances change, and new information becomes clear.

Collaborative care, beyond the office visit

For children and adolescents, parents are essential partners in care. I work closely with families and, when appropriate, coordinate with schools or other professionals to better understand a child’s functioning and support meaningful progress.

For adults, I take into account work demands, relationships, life transitions, and long-standing patterns that may influence symptoms and treatment response. In all cases, care is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in real-world functioning.
