About
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist who has been practicing in Chicago since 2018. I received my medical degree from The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and completed my general adult psychiatry residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago. My training includes the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of mental health conditions including depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and OCD.​
I view psychiatric care as a collaboration-- my patients bring their goals and unique lived experiences, and I try to bring my expertise, curiosity, and respect to every encounter so that we can build an individualized and evidence-based treatment plan together.

Services
My primary treatment modality is medication management, however I may also provide recommendations for other modalities such as lifestyle strategies, therapy or interventional treatments (such as transcranial magnetic stimulation or ketamine) if medications are not recommended or desired.
Initial Psychiatric Assessment
Our first appointment will be 60-90 minutes long, during which we will review your history, symptoms and goals, and discuss treatment options. The initial psychiatric assessment is also an opportunity to make sure that I am the right fit for your specific needs.
Areas we treat include:
-
Depression
-
Anxiety
-
OCD
-
PTSD
-
ADHD
-
Bipolar disorder
Follow-Up Appointments
Subsequent appointments are usually 20-30 minutes long. We will review any progress and updates since the last appointment, and make adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. Follow up appointments are typically every 1-3 months, although they may occur more or less frequently if needed.
