Description:
   I am Board certified in two specialties, psychiatry and neurology. I am on the faculty of Columbia University's College of Physicians & Surgeons.
   My interest as a psychiatrist-neurologist is in the integrative diagnosis and treatment of conditions that overlap between psychiatry, neurology, and general medicine: e.g. Parkinson disease with depression or dementia, epilepsy with co-morbid mood disorders, the differential diagnosis of non-epileptic seizures.
   My psychiatric practice focus is the diagnosis and treatment of panic disorder, psychological trauma, of somatization, and chronic pain syndromes.
   Combined use of psychodynamic psychotherapy and medication/psychopharmacology (former member of Klein, Liebowitz Psychiatric Associates).
   Patients are seen in a low-volume, personalized setting.
   In addition to English, medical care in French and German. Good passive command of Yiddish, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, both for clinical and forensic purposes.
