I am a Board Certified Child,  Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist, with locations in Central and Downtown San Diego and North county- Scripps Ranch/Poway/Rancho Bernardo/Escondido area.
We are going through a major mental health crisis. I specialize in depression, and anxiety, mood disorders, especially childhood trauma- the topic of my research at UPenn, eating disorders, autism,ADHD. I work well with schools, blended/ mixed families, and have a special interest in College Mental health, having worked at CAPS clinic at UPenn and the Depression Project at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I have a collaborative approach to patient care where parents and the patient are partners in treatment with the doctor. My approach is - start low and go slow on meds. Any meds I will not give my own kids, I wouldn't yours!

Teen Psychiatrists
Adolescence describes the teenage years between 13 and 19 and can be considered the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood. However the physical and psychological changes that occur in adolescence can start earlier, and it can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can bring up issues of independence and self-identity. Sometimes teens may be experimenting with drugs and alcohol or sexuality. During this time, peer groups and external appearance tend to increase in importance.

For help with adolescents or for a San Diego adolescent psychiatrist these professionals provide help for adolescent development and adolescent education. They include adolescent psychiatrists in San Diego, adolescent psychologists, and adolescent counselors. They can help with adolescent behavior, adolescent learning and adolescent discipline.

San Diego teen Psychiatrists also provide help for troubled teens in San Diego or troubled teen boys and girls. For parents of out-of-control teens, San Diego psychiatrists can help with communicating and understanding your teen.
