Why choose me to be your physician?

I am a board-certified physician in both adult psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry, with training and experience across a wide range of clinical settings.

I earned my medical degree from Temple University School of Medicine, then completed residency in adult psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina. Following this, I pursued fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

The intensity of training required to become a child and adolescent psychiatrist means that I have engaged in over 15,000 hours of clinical experience, leading to board-certification in both adult psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry. To achieve and maintain this certification, I’ve sat for over 45 hours of national board and licensing examinations, including all three steps of the USMLE, as well as board exams in both adult and child psychiatry.

Over the course of my career, I’ve worked in diverse settings—including inpatient units, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments—allowing me to care for patients across the full spectrum of psychiatric acuity.

In addition to my clinical work, I am actively involved in medical education. I lecture regularly on foundational and advanced topics in psychopharmacology to child and adolescent psychiatry fellows at CHOP, and have also presented to school mental health professionals through the Bucks County Intermediate Unit. I provide consultation to pediatricians and primary care providers, particularly around the evaluation and treatment of ADHD.

My training and experiences allow me to approach patients with evidence-based care shaped by years of experience treating children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of psychiatric concerns.
