Anxiety Psychiatrists in Colorado

My practice philosophy is to collaborate with patients to meet their specific needs and make an impact in various stages of their lives. I focus on medication management, which I typically offer in conjunction with supportive or emotionally focused therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. I have experience providing compassionate psychiatric care for patients with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, family and relationship issues, as well as other mental health issues. I strive to make my patients feel heard, validated, and comfortable at all times.

I am a board certified adult psychiatrist who completed my psychiatry residency training at Richmond University Medical Center in NYC. Over my career I have practiced in various settings, including inpatient, outpatient, comprehensive psychiatric emergency program (CPEP), and the consult liaison service, to name a few.

Growing up in NYC as a South Asian American female in medicine, I strongly value diversity and compassion.

I focus on an individualized treatment plan, not only using pharmacotherapy when needed, but also implementing insight-oriented, supportive, motivational, and brief psychotherapy. I am a firm believer in combining psychotherapy with medication management when warranted to manage and treat a wide variety of mental health conditions including, but not limited to, Depressive Disorders, Bipolar Disorders, Psychotic Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Trauma related disorders, Substance use disorders, Personality disorders, Sleep Disorders, and Eating Disorders. My dynamic approach is client focused, involving the client throughout their treatment and care plan, taking careful consideration to the individual's needs and goals.

I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO and am board certified with ABPN (American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology). Upon completion of my residency through St. Louis University, St. Louis, I joined my parents' Internal Medicine practice. I learned firsthand that implementing mental health awareness, screening, and education into a primary medically focused practice led to more favorable outcomes. Many mental health conditions can manifest as and/or exacerbate a variety of medical/physical conditions and thereby go undiagnosed and untreated. I have worked closely and coordinated care within the medical field and with other specialists in treating and diagnosing comorbid mental health conditions.

While in private practice for over 10 years, I was also an attending and consultant for inpatient mental health care and provided mental health services for residents in various residential care facilities, group homes, and skilled nursing facilities. Over the past 5 years I have consolidated my practice and am presently employed with Compass Health Network in Missouri, helping bridge the gap in mental health care by coordinating and providing care to the underserved community.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches (supportive, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic) in combination with medication management to help patients identify and develop treatment plans towards their own unique goals. Having worked with patients across their lifespans allows me to take a well-rounded approach to identifying issues with my patients, especially in family settings.

I am a double board-certified psychiatrist in Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I completed medical school in my home state at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, where the focus on mind-body connection now fits seamlessly into holistically minded patient care. I then completed General Psychiatry residency and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at the University of Colorado, where I was Chief Fellow focused on improving resident/fellow experiences and ensuring all medical students took a firm grasp of psychiatry into their futures. Prior to joining Talkiatry, I worked in a residential treatment center for teenagers with eating disorders, gaining significant experience with challenging patients and their families.

I specialize in treating a broad range of psychiatric conditions, notably mood and anxiety disorders. I integrate medication management with a holistic, personalized approach to treatment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. I believe in tailoring treatment plans individually, combining therapy and medications to suit each patient's unique needs, and I highlight the importance of healthy relationships in achieving overall mental health.

Patients visiting me for the first time can expect a comprehensive and personalized assessment that explores not just their psychiatric symptoms but their overall well-being and personal relationships. I prioritize a holistic evaluation, carefully balancing medication considerations and therapeutic interventions tailored specifically to each patient's situation and goals. I create an empathetic, collaborative atmosphere to discuss and develop personalized plans for mental and emotional wellness.

My practice focuses on medication management, and I utilize a systematic approach to ensure diagnoses are accurate and treatment plans are optimized to each individual patient. My approach is also holistic in nature, often incorporating therapy and lifestyle modification into the treatment plan. I employ multiple therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the patient, including supportive therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I place great emphasis on psychoeducation so that patients are aware of the nature and prognosis of their conditions as well as the treatment options available. In addition, I also assist patients with tapering medications if they are not necessary. When multiple treatment options are reasonable, I take patient preference into account, offering flexibility to the patient experience. I treat a variety of psychiatric disorders with a particular focus on mood disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and trauma-related disorders.

I am a board-certified staff psychiatrist who treats adult patients. A former engineer, I have developed a passion for guiding patients along the road to recovery.

Please note: I do not prescribe long-term, daily benzodiazepines or Z-drugs; however, I am happy to help you taper off these medications and transition to a safer, long-term medication regimen. I do not prescribe controlled substances if there is any illicit substance use, cannabis or THC product use, or concerning alcohol use, and I may refer to an alternate level of care for substance use disorder treatment if I determine it is clinically indicated.

In addition, for the primary concern of difficulty with concentration or inattention, I obtain a thorough history, screen for mental health conditions that may be contributing, order labs to screen for other contributing causes, order an electrocardiogram or refer to a cardiologist if clinically indicated, and advise the patient to have a family member present if possible to clarify history of symptoms. It may take several visits for me to have a full picture to make a fully informed diagnosis and recommendation. I do not prescribe stimulant medication unless determined to be clearly clinically indicated and safe to prescribe, vitals (height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse) are provided, and workup is completed.

I pay close attention to not only an individual's emotional state, but also their physical, spiritual, and social well-being, in order to provide my patients with exceptional holistic care.

I value honesty and authenticity and believe meaningful progress comes from sharing what is truly happening in one's life. I bring my full humanity to treatment and honor the role of spirituality, recognizing body, mind, and spirit as essential to healing. I embrace creativity and encourage openness to new perspectives and solutions. I spend more time listening than talking and view myself as a guide and teacher rather than a director. I work to build a collaborative partnership focused on the patient's goals and may offer recommendations, while emphasizing that each person remains responsible for their own growth and progress.

I believe trust is the foundation of meaningful treatment. I aim to create a space where patients feel seen and supported yet thoughtfully challenged, using genuine curiosity, warm humor, humility, and a direct style. I collaborate with each patient to develop holistic, realistic treatment plans that may or may not include medication. My therapeutic work blends psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, with availability for a limited number of weekly psychotherapy patients. In the first appointment, I explore each patient's life story, asking detailed questions to understand them as a whole person. I then focus on their immediate concerns and work collaboratively over time to refine a treatment plan that balances symptom relief with deeper, long-term healing. I think integratively and holistically, considering medical and mental health history, lifestyle, self-narrative, psychological structure, cultural and spiritual background, and broader societal influences.
