Additional Information

I am a board certified Psychiatrist and completed my residency training at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic at the University of Pittsburgh. I have had extensive experience diagnosing and treating a variety of psychiatric disorders including trauma related disorders, mood/anxiety disorders, bipolar and psychotic spectrum disorders, personality disorders and dual diagnosis disorders. In addition to experience in the outpatient setting, I have also worked in consultation and liaison departments, partial and intensive outpatient programs, emergency psychiatry settings, and with community treatment teams. Additional areas of expertise include my ability to perform utilization management review and approach cases and claimants with a global lens as I have completed psychoanalytic training. I am licensed and practice in Atlanta, Georgia. I hold active, unrestricted licenses in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Jersey, Illinois, Kentucky, California and Nevada. I am available to travel for examinations and can also conduct them virtually via HIPAA compliant platform. I have completed chart reviews and provided reports for disability insurers, performed veteran disability exams, and performed examinations and provided reports for persons seeking workers' compensation under the Defense Base Act (DBA). My reports are thorough, evidence based and neutral. I maintain efforts to engage in academic teaching activities and continue to hone my skills at receiving and relaying information to others.
