100% Virtual, Serving the Greater New York & New Jersey Areas

Appointments are currently available for new patients. This practice is exclusively telepsychiatry-based, designed to provide high-quality, confidential psychiatric care from the privacy of a patient’s home or any secure location. Patients must be located in New Jersey or New York at the time of the session and have access to a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a stable internet connection.

The practice is tailored to adults who may benefit from medication management, psychotherapy, or both in a setting that prioritizes privacy, collaboration, and personalized care.

Non-emergent psychiatric conditions treated include:
  • Depression and mood instability
  • Anxiety disorders and stress-related conditions
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Adjustment disorders and life transitions
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Wellness and performance optimization through integrative psychiatry
A biopsychosocial framework is used, examining biological, psychological, relational, and lifestyle factors contributing to mental health. Based on this holistic approach, treatment recommendations may include:
  • Medications
  • Psychotherapy
  • Nutritional support
  • Sleep hygiene
  • Exercise and movement
  • Mindfulness and meditation
  • Light therapy
  • Targeted supplements

With patient consent, collaboration with primary care providers, therapists, or other health professionals is available to support continuity and comprehensive care.
