I obtained my medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine and completed my general psychiatry residency at Stanford Hospital and Clinics where I also served as chief resident. I then completed fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Texas at Austin.
After training I worked at Kaiser Permanente in Redwood City seeing children, adolescents and adults. I served as the Assistant Chief of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and as the Medical Director of the Stanford Child and Adolescent Fellowship rotation. After leaving Kaiser I worked at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. I continued to see the full lifespan of patients and also worked as the Education Director for Behavioral Health. In that role I taught primary care physicians how to recognize, diagnose and treat illnesses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD and bipolar disorder in their clinics.
I decided to leave that role to focus on providing the fully integrated and collaborative care I feel every patient deserves. In my clinic I offer individualized care focused on all areas of life. We explore not only how medications may help but also how your psychosocial circumstances impact your life and your symptoms.
I am board certified in both General Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I have extensive experience in the treatment of Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, pediatric and adult ADHD and OCD.
