"The most transformative medicines in a generation are being handed to those who need them least — and withheld from those who need them most."

Medicine, writing,
and the space between.

I am a psychiatrist practicing in New York with a specialty in psychedelic-assisted therapies, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. My clinical work is grounded in the belief that healing requires more than symptom management — it requires meaning.

I am also a writer. My work examines the cultural forces shaping mental health and medicine — who gets access to healing, and why. My essays have explored the commercialization of psychedelic medicine, the politics of consciousness, and what gets lost when transformation becomes a luxury product.

I am currently completing a memoir.

A different kind of psychiatric practice.

My practice integrates conventional psychiatry with emerging evidence-based psychedelic modalities. I work with patients who are ready to go deeper — beyond symptom management, toward genuine transformation.

Comprehensive psychiatric care for adults navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other conditions. Treatment plans are individualized and may include medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions — always with an emphasis on understanding the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

Specialized evaluation and treatment for children and adolescents facing emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges — including ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, and school-related difficulties. I work closely with families to create supportive, age-appropriate care plans that honor each young person's experience.

Psychedelic Medication

Evidence-based psychedelic-assisted treatments, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, for patients with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and existential distress.
