I treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress-related concerns, and life transitions, and provide support during pregnancy and postpartum.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive experience treating adults across diverse clinical settings. I completed my psychiatry residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

I begin by gaining a thorough understanding of each patient's psychiatric history, medical background, current concerns, and personal goals. I develop individualized treatment plans that may include medication, supportive counseling, and practical coping tools. My integrative approach also considers medical conditions, lab values, and vitamin levels. I meet with patients regularly to monitor progress and adjust treatment to best support their evolving needs.

I offer comfortable, efficient virtual visits that respect patients' time while remaining personal and thorough. I prioritize continuity of care so patients feel supported between visits, not just during them. I emphasize collaboration, viewing patients as active partners in their treatment, and have particular expertise in supporting young professionals, students, and those navigating life transitions. I develop thoughtful, individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs, combining evidence-based medication management with a holistic understanding of each person's life, stressors, and goals. My approach fosters a judgment-free, affirming space where patients can speak openly and feel heard.

I am double board-certified in Adult and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, with a strong focus on improving access and equity in mental healthcare. I earned my medical degree from the University of Texas Health San Antonio Long School of Medicine and completed both my general psychiatry residency and child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship there. I have also served as a Medical Director for outpatient psychiatric services, overseeing care delivery, mentoring clinicians, and promoting evidence-based practices.

I value the science and art of medicine, creating a warm, patient-centered environment. I am passionate about advocacy for psychiatric patients, supporting women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, immigrant communities, and patients of color. I believe excellent rapport enhances treatment effectiveness and fosters long-term, family-doctor-style relationships. I begin with a thorough discussion of a patient's history, goals, and prior treatments, and I prioritize clarity, psychoeducation, and collaborative decision-making, integrating supportive and psychodynamic approaches. I develop individualized treatment plans, optimize medication safely, and collaborate with other specialists to care for the whole person.

I earned a B.S. in Biology Honors and a B.A. in Plan II Honors from the University of Texas at Austin, with internships at the Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies and for State Senator Eddie Lucio. I earned my M.D. at the University of Texas Long School of Medicine with Distinction in Medical Humanities, completed my psychiatry residency at UC Riverside, and practiced across inpatient, ER, forensic, and outpatient settings in California. I have extensive experience treating both severely mentally ill and working-well populations.

I take a patient-centered approach, ensuring each individual feels heard, respected, and understood. I foster a warm and supportive environment focused on collaboration and progress, and my care is centered on helping patients move toward their personal goals with clarity and confidence. During the initial session, I take time to understand each patient's history, current concerns, strengths, and goals, then work collaboratively to develop an individualized treatment plan that aligns with the patient's values and desired outcomes.

I earned my medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, WI, and completed my adult psychiatry residency at Chicago Medical School in North Chicago, IL, where I served as chief resident. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including work at the Michael DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, TX, caring for diverse patient populations.

I provide general adult psychiatry and medication management, treating anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and PTSD. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free space where patients feel heard and respected. I value psychoeducation so patients can make informed decisions about their care. Honesty, mutual trust, and clear communication are central to my approach, as I view treatment as a collaborative partnership focused on shared goals.

I earned my medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine and completed my psychiatric residency at UT Southwestern in Dallas, TX. I served as a psychiatrist in the United States Navy and have practiced in inpatient and outpatient settings, including a state-run mental health clinic and as a civilian on a United States Army base.

The initial appointment centers on understanding each patient's history and concerns. By the second session, treatment goals are identified. From there, I collaborate with patients to develop individualized treatment plans and adjust care as needed to support meaningful progress.

I diagnose and treat conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and psychosis. I offer medication treatments and partner with patients to explore how their experiences, values, and goals shape their identity. By addressing maladaptive patterns and life challenges, I provide personalized, comprehensive care to help patients reach their full potential.

I earned my bachelor's degree in political philosophy and premedical sciences at the University of California, Davis, exploring how ideas shape cultures and institutions. Philosophy and science taught me that human experience is influenced by our past, beliefs, and biology. After graduation, I worked as a therapist for neurodivergent individuals, helping them process challenges and develop skills to reach their goals. I studied holistic patient care at Touro University College of Medicine, focusing on mind, body, and spirit. I completed my psychiatry residency at Riverside University Health System in Southern California, serving diverse patients with varied mental health conditions. As chief resident, I trained future physicians in evidence-based approaches while emphasizing the therapeutic and humanistic foundations of psychiatry.
