I decided to become a physician when I was in high school, and was accepted into medical school when I was 17 years old as part of the Honors Program in Medical Education at Northwestern University.
I graduated cum laude from Northwestern University (ranked 9th in the nation by U.S. News and World Report in 2021) with a B.A. in Biological Sciences, and matriculated to Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine (ranked 18th in the nation by U.S. News and World Report in 2021) as part of the Honors Program in Medical Education.During medical school, psychiatry stood out to me as an incredibly unique field in all of medicine.
Psychiatry not only allowed me to use my knowledge of medicine in the science of healing, it offered me the incredible opportunity to use my personal connection with patients and knowledge of talk therapy techniques to restore emotional balance in suffering patients' lives. I can think of no higher calling as a physician, which made the decision to specialize in psychiatry an easy one.

For many people, meeting with a psychiatrist for the first time can be an anxiety-provoking situation.
In the hopes of easing some of that anxiety, I will describe what new patients can expect.
When you first contact me for an appointment, I will ask how you were referred to me, and try to get a sense of the difficulties that you are having.
If there seems to be a good fit with the problems you are having and the clinical services I offer, we will schedule an initial consultation.
We will meet for a 75 minute initial consultation.
