Get to Know Me

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with an additional board certification in consultation-liaison psychiatry, a subspecialty that focuses on the care of patients with both psychiatric and general medical conditions. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, I serve as the psychiatric liaison to the Thoracic Disease Management Team. In this role, I help people manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, cognitive changes, and sleep disturbances while considering the psychological impacts of their personal situations, cancer treatments, and other medications. I am also interested in mindfulness, meditation, and the role of diet, exercise, and nutrition in treating psychiatric illness in patients with cancer.

My clinical work, teaching, and research interests reflect my longstanding commitment to meeting the psychiatric needs of patients with cancer, with the goal of reducing distress and improving quality of life. In addition to these professional efforts, I am dedicated to teaching fellows, residents, and medical students, as well as supervising advanced practice practitioners.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a psychiatrist (sy-KY-uh-trist), which is a doctor with special training in mental, emotional, and behavioral health. I can prescribe medicine to help with these issues.
