I am a board-certified psychiatrist providing telehealth care to adults across California. I work collaboratively with my patients to support meaningful, patient-centered recovery. I believe effective mental health care is grounded in shared decision-making where your values, goals, and lived experiences actively guide the treatment process.

Together, we develop a personalized and comprehensive treatment plan that may include medication management and evidence-based lifestyle interventions. My approach is thoughtful, practical, and tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, or trauma, I strive to create a space where you feel heard, informed, and genuinely supported.

Our sessions are structured yet flexible. We begin with a thorough understanding of your concerns, then work together to create a clear and individualized plan. I emphasize measurement-based care, transparent communication, and ongoing adjustments based on your progress. My goal is not only symptom relief, but helping you build a sustainable path toward long-term well-being.

I completed my psychiatry residency at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and a Public Psychiatry Fellowship at Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute. I have also contributed to a range of domestic and international initiatives focused on expanding access to mental health care and strengthening the mental health workforce. I currently serve as Assistant Director of the Public Psychiatry Fellowship at Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute.
