Professional Summary

My primary area of interest and expertise is in the field of early psychosis. I am the program director of OntrackNY@ECMC, a coordinated specialty care program aimed at helping young adults recover from their first episode of psychosis. I am the co-chair of the Early Psychosis Workgroup at the AACAP (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) and also serve on PEPPNET (Psychosis-Risk and Early Psychosis Program Network) Finance and Adolescence and Psychosis Workgroups. My other main focus is in training and education and I take pride in my role as the associate director of residency training in general psychiatry. I am very fortunate to be able to work with trainees and mentor medical students who are interested in pursuing general and child psychiatry.
