At NYU Langone, my approach to psychiatry is rooted in caring for the whole person, not just managing symptoms. That is why I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment where patients feel genuinely heard and understood.

I specialize in managing a range of psychiatric conditions including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders and more. I provide evidence-based treatments tailored to each patients’ unique needs, whether through medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. I am proud to be part of a dedicated team at NYU Langone, where we work collaboratively to provide coordinated and seamless care for our patients.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in pioneering research, particularly at the at NYU Langone. My work has focused on exploring the therapeutic potential of psilocybin in treating depression, cancer-related distress, alcohol use disorder, and other conditions, contributing to the advancement of innovative treatments in psychiatry.

Research Summary
My research spans psychiatry, biomedical engineering, and neuroimaging. Over the past five years at NYU Langone's Center for Psychedelic Medicine, I’ve integrated these disciplines through clinical trials of psilocybin for depression, alcohol use disorder, and cancer-related distress, and mechanistic work with ketamine—building expertise in trial design, data analysis, and psychedelic-assisted therapy to advance rapid, durable treatments for difficult-to-treat conditions.

More recently, I’ve focused on advanced neuroimaging (fMRI, fNIRS) to clarify pharmacologic and neural mechanisms. Combining imaging with computational modeling, I aim to:

Develop objective, brain-based biomarkers

Elucidate mechanisms of action of psychedelics and other psychoactive drugs

Quantify dose–response relationships linking neuropharmacology to clinical outcomes

Ultimately, I aim to accelerate clinical translation by leveraging neuroimaging and computation to optimize psychedelic therapies for personalized, precision mental health care.
