Toward this end, I’ll share a bit about myself professionally. I graduated from MCP-Hahnemann University School of Medicine, in Philadelphia, and matriculated to a combined internship/psychiatry residency program at Georgetown University Hospital. Upon completing my specialty training, I assumed a faculty appointment within the Georgetown Department of Psychiatry, where I currently supervise and teach both psychiatry/neurology residents and medical students. Additionally, I serve as Associate Director of the Georgetown Mood and Anxiety Disorders Clinic.

My facility as both a teaching and a treating psychiatrist affords me a wealth of opportunity to encounter, evaluate and treat diverse conditions, along the entire spectrum of psychiatric illness, as well as the often unclassifiable psychological distress engendered by a vast array of both ordinary and extraordinary human ordeal. Issues I’ve helped patients contend with have ranged from job stress, familial dysfunction, and troubled relationship dynamics to severe abuse, combat trauma and terminal illness. Moreover, in my dual capacity as both an academic and a community clinician, I thrive in serving patients from a variety of different racial, ethnic, religious, educational, socio-economic and lifestyle backgrounds. I continually find this diversity of experience to be informative, enriching and deeply gratifying.
