About
I am a Columbia University trained adult psychiatrist who moved from New York City to the Berkshires in 2007. I joined the faculty of Berkshire Medical Center’s Department of Psychiatry where I worked in outpatient and inpatient settings. I also held leadership positions and trained psychiatry residents and medical students. I have specialized training and experience in treating people who have both physical and emotional difficulties, and am especially interested in the interplay between mind and body in creating and healing disease. I also have experience in women’s mental health and enjoy helping women navigate challenges throughout their reproductive cycle.
