Great to meet you!

I am a board-eligible psychiatrist with expertise in research, consultation-liaison psychiatry, and addiction. I am dedicated to providing evidence-based care tailored to each patient’s needs.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach can be best described as: Thoughtful, patient-centered, and rooted in both scientific research and compassionate care. I value a collaborative approach that empowers my patients to take an active role in their treatment.

What you can expect from our first session

Working with me, patients should expect a structured yet flexible treatment plan incorporating therapy, psychiatric evaluations, and medication management. I emphasize education, self-awareness, and practical strategies to support long-term well-being.

I believe that the key to a good doctor/patient relationship is: Trust, mutual respect, and a nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard and understood. I try to foster a partnership that encourages personal growth and resilience.

My areas of expertise include: Anxiety, depression, addiction, depersonalization/ derealization disorder, mood disorders, and complex psychiatric presentations. I provide a holistic, research-driven approach to mental health care.
