About

I have had years of experience as an in-patient unit chief at Jacobi Medical Center. I worked for several years in the Jacobi Out Patient Clinic with a special focus on dually diagnosed patients (those with both psychiatric and substance abuse conditions). I currently work as a Consultation Liason Psychiatrist at Jacobi Medical Center. I have had an active private practice for 22 years at 275 Central Park West, New York, NY, where I practice both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology tailored to a broad array of patients.
