ADHD Psychiatrists in California

I practice a patient-centered approach to mental health care. I work collaboratively on goals of treatment, with a focus on medication management while incorporating supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I treat a variety of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and ADHD.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist. I majored in biology and neuroscience at Brandeis University, attended medical school at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and completed residency training at Stony Brook University Hospital.

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist known for making my patients feel seen and heard. I use both medication management and supportive psychotherapy, and as a seasoned psychopharmacologist, I emphasize the importance of nutrition, exercise, and community in mental health. I enjoy all aspects of medicine and combine my extensive knowledge with a patient-centered approach.

I completed my medical school and residency at the University of New Mexico, where I later served as a psychiatrist and assistant professor, treating high-need patients and teaching residents and medical students. During the pandemic, I transitioned to telehealth and have been dedicated to this field for the past four years. My academic journey began as a physics major at UNM; I then studied biophysics at the University of San Diego, California. During my postdoctoral fellowship at Los Alamos National Laboratories, I was inspired by presentations about professionals working with patients in African countries, which sparked my interest in medicine.

During that time, my father died of cancer, and I witnessed the impact of mental health therapy on his quality of life, further solidifying my motivation to attend medical school. Witnessing the profound impact of mental health on my patients and family, I specialized in psychiatry.

I prioritize the development of great communication, mutual understanding, and trust with my patients, as I find these elements to be key to a successful treatment. I establish my treatment plans upon evidence-based guidelines and encourage a holistic approach for optimal well-being. Through effective medication management and supportive psychotherapy, I lead my patients to optimal mental health. I encourage patients to strive to develop fulfillment and optimal functionality in their life's roles.

I have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating adult patients dealing with attention deficit disorders and a wide spectrum of adjustment and anxiety disorders. I have a special interest in the treatment of mood disorders, from Major Depression to Bipolar spectrum disorders.

I obtained my medical degree from the University of Texas Medical School in Houston and subsequently completed my Psychiatry residency training at the same institution. I am board certified in Adult Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Following my professional training, I have accumulated 15 years of experience primarily in the outpatient setting, including ample experience with telemedicine services to patients.

I am a psychiatrist specializing in adult and maternal mental health. I develop personalized treatment plans to address anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, PMDD, and perinatal conditions. My goal is to help patients reconnect with their values and live balanced, fulfilled, and meaningful lives. I combine pharmacotherapy (medication) with psychotherapy to create individualized treatment plans. Therapy provides powerful tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that support balanced brain chemistry, and research shows that medication helps restore this balance more quickly and effectively, especially in moderate to severe cases.

I liken medication for the brain to fertilizer for a garden. Imagine your mental health as a vibrant garden: when well-nourished, it can thrive with resilience, beauty, and balance. But when symptoms like depression, anxiety, ADHD, or mood instability take hold, they act like invasive weeds, crowding out healthy growth and making it hard to enjoy the space. Medication acts like fertilizer, strengthening the garden's natural systems so the healthy parts can reclaim their place and flourish. Just as some gardens need only seasonal care while others require more consistent tending, medication plans are personalized to support each person's long-term mental wellness. My approach emphasizes diagnostic clarity, medication management, patient education, and brief psychotherapy based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I believe patients should take an active role in understanding their diagnosis and treatment.

Your first appointment is a supportive, in-depth conversation to share your story, challenges, and goals. I will review your medical and psychiatric history and assess symptoms using a whole-person approach that considers biological, psychological, and social factors. Together, we will develop a personalized plan that may include lab work, medication, and therapy. Initial visits last 60 minutes for thorough evaluation; follow-ups typically last 20–30 minutes, focusing on medication management and brief therapy. If needed, I can refer you to in-house or community therapists for add-on therapy support. Throughout your care, I prioritize shared decision making to ensure you feel informed, empowered, and supported.

My passion for medicine began in childhood, inspired by curiosity about the mind and body. I earned an Honors Chemistry degree with magna cum laude and completed my medical training and psychiatry residency at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. With a strong scientific foundation, I understand the role of medications and embrace holistic healing through connection, gratitude, and spirituality. I have experience in diverse clinical settings and have received national awards including the AWP International Fellowship and ADMSEP Innovations Award. I am dedicated to advancing maternal mental health screening and treatment through clinical care and education.

My practice primarily focuses on medication management, though I use a holistic approach in developing individualized treatment plans. I typically incorporate elements of various psychotherapy modalities, including supportive, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), and insight-oriented therapy, in 30- or 45-minute follow-up visits. Occasionally, I may believe that more intensive therapy is needed and recommend that you bring a dedicated therapist into your care team for an optimal outcome.
