About My Approach

I take a whole-person approach to psychiatry. As a medical doctor and board-certified psychiatrist, I look beyond symptoms alone and consider the full context of your life, including your biology, nervous system, relationships, history, stressors, values, and current circumstances.

My approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. Treatment may include medication management, psychotherapy-informed care, mindfulness-based strategies, and holistic approaches such as sleep, nutrition, movement, and nervous system regulation. My goal is to offer care that feels both clinically grounded and personally meaningful.

I work especially well with individuals navigating OCD, reproductive mental health concerns, trauma, grief, anxiety, mood symptoms, ADHD, and major life transitions. I aim to provide a calm, thoughtful space where we can better understand what you are going through and build a treatment plan that actually fits your life.

Education and Training

I earned my medical degree at UCLA and completed my psychiatry residency at UCLA. Before medical school, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Colorado with a strong foundation in the sciences. I am board-certified in Adult Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

My clinical training and experience span a wide range of psychiatric settings, including UCLA Women’s Life Clinic, UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, West Los Angeles VA Medical Center, UCLA TMS clinic, the Westside DBT clinic, Amae Partial Hospitalization Program, and The Seleni Institute.

I currently work with the nonprofit, The People Concern, providing psychiatric care directly to unhoused individuals on the streets and in homeless encampments throughout Los Angeles.

I have pursued advanced training in OCD treatment, reproductive psychiatry, perinatal mental health, grief, couples and intimacy therapy, Dialectical Behavorial Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

I hold Perinatal Mental Health Certification through Postpartum Support International. I also hold advanced certification in Functional and Integrative Medicine for ADHD.
