Summary

  • I am a board certified psychiatrist in general and forensic psychiatry and I do both treatment and forensic evaluations.
    My treatment is with medications and psychotherapy for outpatients who largely are being treated for anxiety and depression. I keep the volume of the practice low enough so that I feel comfortable that I am giving the patients sufficient attention to their problems. Many of my patients are professionals with careers.
    My forensic practice involves mostly civil cases.
    In addition I supervise residents at UCSF medical center and am teaching faculty at the Stanford Psychiatry Forensic Fellowship.
