As a psychiatrist, I am always fascinated by the courage of my patients who seek mental health treatment against the odds of personal and cultural challenges. It inspires me to help my patients achieve the best mental healthcare which we all deserve. As our mental health is impacted by a multitude of factors including biological, psychological, and social, I personalize the treatment plan for each of my patients, so they can have a better outcome to live a quality life. I have extensive experience in treating anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, PTSD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and ADHD.

I help adults and working professionals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or PTSD overcome self-doubt and their life obstacles by offering evidence-informed treatment that includes medication management, psychotherapy, supplements, lifestyle coaching, and more. I founded Ordinary Psychiatry to help others realize what I have over the years — good mental health is as essential as water and best serves us when woven into daily life. My approach to psychiatry is deeply personal and holistic. Simply put, I believe in treating the individual, not just the symptoms.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based and practical care through psychotherapy and medication management. I begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand the needs and strengths of each person. We would work in a collaborative way so that my services are personalized and effective. I will often involve psychotherapy; I only recommend medications if medically indicated and attempt to keep them as simple as possible.

I am especially interested in working with people who see healing their wounds and problems as only one part of an ongoing effort to develop themselves as far as possible. This effort includes development beyond the personal into familial, community, global, and spiritual realms. Seeking to promote this perspective I am the senior editor of Textbook of Transpersonal Psychiatry and Psychology for which we won the Will Solimene Award for Excellence in Medical Communication. This perspective also values learning the accumulated knowledge of other cultures.

I work with people facing a wide range of difficulties. They may be struggling with depression, anxiety, a sense of emptiness or feeling lost. Often, they find themselves having relational problems, such as difficulty developing long lasting relationships or frequently having unsatisfying, confusing, or problematic encounters with friends, colleagues, or family members. I also work with people dealing with major life transitions, including marriage, becoming a parent, significant medical events, and grief following the death of a loved one or pregnancy loss.

Labeled as a PROCRAStINATOR, perpetually LATE, battling BRAIN-fog, or viewed as a time waster? These descriptors often strike a chord for those with ADHD, reflecting not a lack of effort or ambition but the complex challenges of an overlooked and undermanaged condition. As a PMHNP with a focus on ADHD, I've walked in your shoes. I know firsthand the frustration these labels can bring and how misleading they can be. My personal journey with ADHD, alongside my professional expertise, ignites my passion for offering care that goes beyond traditional management. Let's change the narrative. Together, we can rewrite your story.

I take a collaborative approach toward helping patients achieve their goals, which begins with a full evaluation process that can last from one to a few sessions, until we have reached an understanding of what the difficulties are and we can discuss treatment recommendations. I believe strongly in both understanding and treating symptoms and difficulties in living in the context of a whole person. I have had training in multiple approaches to psychotherapy and work with patients to broaden their emotional and cognitive experience, gain insight into their psychological functioning, and make improvements in their qualities of life.

I am a Yale, UCLA and UCSF-trained addiction psychiatrist. I provide confidential, evidence-based treatment for mental health issues and addictions, including opioids, alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, tobacco, cannabis, and behavioral addictions like internet, gaming, and gambling. These are NOT moral or character failings, but rather medical conditions that can affect anyone at any time, from any walk of life, with oftentimes serious personal, relational, and professional consequences. Though validated treatments exist, these are often underutilized due to medical providers’ discomfort, lack of education, and/or stigma.
