Hi, I'm Brigitte. I’ve been a board-certified psychiatrist since 2020. I did my psychiatric residency training at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, in downtown Manhattan.

With 6 years’ experience working in the hospital setting, 3 years on a Substance Use Disorder Unit, 2 years on the Borderline Personality Disorder Unit, and 1 year working on a Young Adult Mood Disorder Unit.
