Postpartum Depression Psychiatrists in Texas

Most of my work as a psychiatrist is with adults navigating PTSD, OCD, and the shifts that come with becoming a parent, including postpartum depression. I also spend time with people managing more complex patterns, like personality disorders, bipolar disorder, and anxiety that has quietly reshaped their daily lives. I trained in general adult psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine, where I served as Chief Resident of Education in my final year, and I bring an analytical, problem-solving mindset to sorting out what's actually driving a person's symptoms.

I don't think good treatment can start until I understand someone fully, so the first visit is a thorough evaluation where I take my time with your history, your symptoms, and what you're actually hoping to change. Medication management is the foundation of what I do, but it's one piece of the picture, not the whole plan. Depending on what you need, I'll fold in supportive therapy or recommend adding a therapist so the care around you is well-rounded. I try to be transparent about my reasoning and to build decisions with you rather than hand them down, and I tend to look for the strengths already there to work from.

I especially find common ground with parents and caregivers trying to hold their own health steady while looking after everyone else. The first step is really just a conversation, and we sort out the direction together once I understand where you're starting from.

I strongly believe that developing a good therapeutic rapport is essential for successful treatment. My practice primarily focuses on medication management, often combined with supportive, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and couples therapy in 20–30 minute follow-up visits. I take a holistic approach, particularly for patients with complex medical conditions that impact emotional health, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams and family members when appropriate. In addition to general adult psychiatry, I specialize in geriatric psychiatry and women's mental health, with a primary focus on treating women with mood and anxiety disorders and geriatric patients with newly diagnosed psychiatric conditions.

I am double board-certified in adult and geriatric psychiatry with over nine years of experience. I earned my medical degree from Manipal College of Medical Sciences and completed my psychiatry residency and geriatric fellowship training at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. My background includes work in nursing homes, acute rehabilitation centers, inpatient psychiatric units, and outpatient settings, providing care for diverse patient populations.

During the first visit, patients can expect a comprehensive evaluation where I take the time to assess their symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. I foster a collaborative and supportive environment, ensuring that treatment plans are tailored to individual needs. Follow-up visits typically last 20–30 minutes, with a focus on medication adjustments and therapeutic support. If additional therapy is necessary, I may recommend integrating a therapist into the patient's care team for the best possible outcome.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with over 14 years of experience treating adult and older adult patients from a wide variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My practice focuses primarily on medication management, in addition to supportive and cognitive and behavioral therapy in 30-minute follow-up visits. Sometimes I will suggest that additional therapy be included in your treatment plan in order to provide the best outcome. I view patients as partners working toward a common goal of improving quality of life. I also appreciate the strong connection between physical and mental health and provide encouragement and support to patients to make behavioral changes that will benefit both.

In addition to general adult psychiatry, I received extensive training in one of the nation's largest women's mood disorder programs at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and enjoy treating peripartum and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.
