Summary

  • Welcome! I am a board-certified psychiatrist based in Southern California. With additional training in child and adolescent psychiatry, I enjoy helping people of all ages live more meaningful and fulfilling lives. I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, and I am able to see patients all over the state of California through the convenience of telehealth. Using a patient-centered and holistic approach, I collaborate with my patients and their families to provide comprehensive and personalized mental health treatment involving psychoeducation, medications and/or psychotherapy. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to determine whether I am the right person to help you or your child.
