Message to clients

To college, medical, and graduate students: Investing in your mental and emotional well-being is crucial, especially when academic pressures, social challenges, and professional growth can sometimes feel overwhelming. We can create a plan that helps you manage these challenges effectively. You are the expert on your own experiences, and my role is to work with you collaboratively to build resilience and maintain balance. Together, we’ll help you move forward with confidence so you can focus on achieving your goals and enjoying your academic experience.

To women: Fluctuating hormones can significantly impact mood and quality of life. I want to be by your side as you navigate these changes and help you feel your best. I have trained specifically in reproductive psychiatry and can utilize this expertise as we work together to find the right treatment for you.

To athletes: As a former Division I athlete at Yale, I saw first-hand the reluctance of student-athletes to seek mental health treatment. There is a fear that treatment may hinder your performance or competitive edge. I am conscious of the demands of training at a high level and the importance of maintaining peak physical condition; we will work together to treat your symptoms so your mental health is as strong as your physical health.
