Day by day, I believe our society is learning to fight the stigma against mental health and illness. Despite increasing acceptance of mental health wellness, many people young and old, still hesitate to find appropriate counseling and support for their mental health illnesses. Realizing that every day is another chance to serve someone pushes me to do my best. It isn’t easy to ask for help and it is a privilege to be a provider to those who earnestly seek support. I hope to impart some hope, encouragement, and instill resilience into all my patient encounters.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist in the East Bay. I am trained to address all of the major psychiatric diagnoses and specialize in both psychotherapy and medication management. My approach recognizes the practical necessity of diagnostic categories, but I also value and rely on the uniqueness of one's subjective experience to help guide the treatment process. It can be helpful for some people to hear that they may benefit from psychiatric or psychotherapeutic help even when a diagnosis may be unclear or unnecessary.
