Personal Statement

I am a psychiatrist with expertise in psychopharmacology and different psychotherapeutic modalities for depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. My patient offerings include individual therapy and/or medication management for adults. In addition to my faculty practice, I am an investigator with the Weill Cornell Center for Sleep Medicine. My research has centered around investigating the role of circadian disruption in Idiopathic Hypersomnia. I am also involved in projects that look at the use of existing technologies to improve or expand psychiatric inpatient care.
