Training

I completed psychiatry residency at Columbia University Medical Center, which has both a strong psychoanalytic tradition and a cutting-edge neuroscience community. Working here, I developed a deep appreciation for how these different views of the mind and mental health, which are often viewed as in opposition, can actually work together.

I completed my MD and PhD in neuroscience through the combined program at Weill Cornell and Rockefeller University. Before that, I conducted research at the NIMH on the mechanisms of antidepressants and mood stabilizers. I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees at Yale.

After residency I completed a three-year NIH-funded research fellowship at Columbia. I continue to conduct NIH-funded research there on the neurobiology of stress.

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