ABOUT

I am a US trained and U.S. board-certified psychiatrist who is recognized as a specialist in psychiatry ( מומחה בפסיכיאטריה) In Israel. I only treat patients located in Israel. I made aliya in 2020 after working as a psychiatrist in the United States. My private practice is in Jerusalem where I see adults of all ages. I work in a patient centered,  individualized manner and offer assessment, consultation, medication management, psychotherapy and psychoeducation ( to families and patients). I enjoy working collaboratively with other therapists and medical professionals. I graduated medical school at Tufts University School of Medicine and completed residency training at BIDMC/ Harvard. Medical School  Before making aliya I spent many years  working in an academically affiliated clinic focused on the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders ( including OCD and PTSD). I have an interest in the treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I was a supervisor in the Payne Whitney women's clinic and a consultant for the PSI / Postpartum Support International Perinatal Psychiatric Consult Line. I also worked in a team with psychologists from the youth anxiety center - focusing on helping transitional age youth ( 16- 28 y.o.).  I have an academic appointment as Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry. In my faculty private practice I worked with patients with a range of diagnoses including psychotic disorders, interpersonal problems, ADHD and eating disorders.   I look forward to meeting you and working together! Please note that because I am a Maccabi provider I am unable to see those  with Maccabi insurance ( other than the Darconaim plan) in my private practice at this time.
