After training and practicing at an academic medical center for the past six years, I wanted more for myself and my clients: more time, more connection, and a more holistic, mind-body approach. My practice philosophy is based on evidence, your values, and shared decision making to tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs and goals.

Are you looking for more than medications for your life journey? I can bridge traditions of the East and West to curate a mental health wellness plan for you. My integrative psychiatry practice combines conventional medicine with other evidence-based treatments. I've learned techniques during medical school at the University of Michigan, psychiatry residency at UC San Francisco, the public psychiatry fellowship at Columbia University, and the Integrative Psychiatry Institute fellowship accredited by the University of Colorado. I'm one of a limited number of Accelerated Resolution Therapists (acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com).

Mental distress is not simply confined to the mind. It also manifests in our bodies and impairs our sense of wellbeing. I employ pharmacological interventions and psychodynamic psychotherapy to treat everyone as a person rather than a disorder. I account for the context of his or her community and culture. I have a B.A. in neuroscience from the University of Pennsylvania and obtained my medical degree from the University of Tennessee, where I grew up. I completed my psychiatry residency at UCLA/Greater LA VA with an additional fellowship in geriatric psychiatry from UCLA.
