Summary

• I am board-certified in general psychiatry as well as child and adolescent psychiatry. I recently joined a group private practice where I primarily work with children, adolescents, and families.
  
  I am passionate about early intervention and evidence-based care. I am inclusive toward individuals and families with diverse cultures and beliefs. My treatment approach focuses on collaborative care with clients, families, and other providers involved in the treatment team. I emphasize client and family autonomy in making treatment decisions based upon education I can provide in session. I have training in psychopharmacology and multiple psychotherapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, parent child interaction therapy, behavior modification, parent management training, play therapy, open dialogic practice, family systems therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I integrate aspects of these therapeutic modalities into all of my sessions, including those focused on medication management. I aim to support the entire family system throughout treatment to improve functional outcomes, quality of life, and the nature of the relationships between each member within the system.
