You feel so alone. No one seems to understand what you're going through. You don't feel comfortable anywhere. School is a minefield of social interactions, peer pressures, and demands from teachers. At home, your parents are overbearing and never let you forget that every choice you make now will affect your entire future. It feels like everyone has so many expectations for who you are supposed to be, and you never get a chance to figure out who you actually are. You wish there were somewhere you could go to find peace. Someone you could talk to that might help you navigate this complex time. But you're too scared to reach out.

Mission Viejo, CA 92675
I am deeply passionate about mental health, particularly when it comes to treating bipolar disorders, trauma, and psychotic conditions. When it comes to working with patients, "curiosity" is my guiding principle. I partner with individuals to dig deep into what's troubling them and work together to set life-affirming treatment goals. Over time, I've embraced several care models, including the harm reduction model, which aims to lessen the negative impact of behaviors like substance abuse or self-harm, even if quitting altogether isn’t on the table yet.
