Training

I completed my psychiatry residency at Columbia University Medical Center, which has a strong psychoanalytic tradition and a vibrant neuroscience and clinical research community. This environment shaped how I think about patients: psychodynamic understanding and biological thinking are not in opposition, and the best clinical work draws on both. Following residency, I completed a three-year research fellowship funded by an NIH T32 training award at Columbia.

I completed my MD and PhD in neuroscience through a combined program at Weill Cornell and Rockefeller University. Prior to that, I conducted neuroscience research at the NIMH studying the mechanisms of antidepressants and mood stabilizers. I completed my undergraduate and master's degrees at Yale.

I am board certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
