Biography
I am a board-certified psychiatrist for the lifespan, experienced in working with all ages from children and adolescents to older adults. My training includes medical school at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, adult psychiatry residency at the University of California, Irvine, and fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Colorado/Children’s Hospital of Colorado. During my final year of training, I also served as chief fellow and advocated for system-wide changes to improve the quality of care for all patients.
In addition to comprehensive and holistic diagnostic assessments with medication support as appropriate, I have a background in multiple evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), and family and couples therapy. I integrate therapy into our time together and can collaborate with others to give you the best opportunity for meaningful improvement.
Your first visit is a chance for us to get to know each other and make sure I understand your story and what matters most to you. My first priority is to make sure you feel safe, seen, and understood. From there, my aim is to partner with you through treatment that aligns with your goals and moves at a pace that feels right. You’ll have space to ask questions, discuss concerns, and understand your options before making a decision. By the end of our visits, you can expect to leave with a thoughtful plan tailored to you and a clear understanding of our next steps. I look forward to helping you achieve the life you desire.
