My practice here is based on two fundamental clinical ideas: The first is that in medication management, most psychiatrists are too timid regarding escalation of a medication algorithm, and they're not weighing the risks and benefits to the patient. It's a principal agent problem. My second concern is that as psychotherapists, some (not all, but some) of the core ideas of our therapeutic culture are theoretically flawed, and this makes them counterproductive, or at least less productive than they could be. Fees: $215 for 30 min follow up and $330 for 60 min intake. Visit my website / substack for more info. (link to side)

Restorative Psychiatry: Be Well. Sleep Well.
During college, I developed an interest in psychology and neuroscience. After college, I became a middle school teacher, and found my passion in working with children and families. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health that encompasses physical health and psychological health. I work with patients and families in a collaborative manner, setting shared treatment goals, and believe that patients often hold the key to moving forward towards these goals.

I am a board certified adult psychiatrist and see patients for therapy with or without medication. My focus is in Depression, Anxiety, and OCD. However, what I emphasize in sessions is not the general diagnosis but the particularity, uniqueness, and subjectivity of a patient. I strive to create a space in which the patient's subjectivity emerges. Then to explore and work through what emerges in this process guides me. My hope is that a patient becomes more aware of themselves, their issues, and through this process achieve a sense of satisfaction and joy.

I focus on the assessment, diagnosis, and medication management of a variety of psychiatric conditions across the lifespan. I attended college at Stanford University studying Human Biology, followed by earning my Masters' degree in Latin American Studies. During medical school at the University of Southern California, I discovered my passion for psychiatry and caring for the growing brain. I completed Adult Psychiatry training at Kaweah Delta Health Care Center and completed fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at UC San Francisco. I am double-board certified.

I came to BACA Telehealth in 2021, practicing telehealth remotely from Sacramento. Originally from Palo Alto, I completed my undergraduate degree from U.C. Berkeley. After attending the Bryn Mawr College Pre-Med/ Post Bacc Program, I went to Temple University Medical School where I got my MD. While a fourth year med student at Temple, in Philadelphia, I took an elective at UCSF Langley Porter, and became interested in child and adolescent psychiatry.

I treat adults who are struggling with a range of emotional pain or anxieties. Problems I try to help people sort out include loss and grief, the impact of loss on relationships and the meaning of a life indelibly altered; illness, new or a new stage of it, and how it impacts one's sense of self, potential, and meaning; identity, related to race, ethnicity, sexuality or gender; the complexity of parenting or having difficult parents; and ordinary but intimidating transition from one stage of life to another, the changes to the body, meaning, and connections to others that come with these transitions.

As a child and adolescent psychiatrist with nearly two decades worth of experience, I have come to cherish the collaborative aspects of patient care above all else. Treatment and recovery become more meaningful and durable when defined by patients, families, and doctors together. (Or, as some. might say, multiple heads are better than one.) In working with diverse populations, it has also become evident to me that "medication-only" treatment models have their place, but are limited in what they can do and what they should be asked to do. This is especially true in the child and adolescent population.
