I am focused on helping patients take a more holistic approach to optimize their behavioral health and wellness. I am an advanced practice registered nurse, who applies conventional and integrative methods to the treatment of mental health and wellness. With over 10 years of health care experience, I have witnessed the power within my patients to find balance when they are given the tools to succeed.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, community and student health centers, urgent care, and addiction treatment facilities. This breadth of experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding mental health disorders and substance use disorders, allowing me to bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and empathy to my practice.
I am passionate about helping individuals overcome their challenges and achieve optimal wellness. Whether it's managing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, schizophrenia or supporting individuals on their journey to recovery from addiction, I am committed to providing personalized care that addresses the unique needs of each patient.

Sometimes due to a diagnosis or circumstance, you may find yourself stuck, unable to perform, unhappy, or unfulfilled. I'm here to help you bounce back through treatments supported by scientific evidence, which may include medication, therapy, or both. Unlike many psychiatrists, I also offer psychotherapy. I collaborate with patients to integrate their life story, strengths, and values to support them in their unique journey toward personal growth and healing. While adults of all ages and backgrounds are welcome, I specialize in supporting multicultural and BIPOC clients, as well as pregnant and postpartum clients.
I have psychopharmacological expertise in managing mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. I offer psychiatric evaluation, medication management on its own or in combination with therapy, and therapy on its own. If you’re already working with a therapist, but need a psychiatrist to manage your medication treatment, I can help.
I have a particular interest in treating mood disorders, including treatment-resistant depression, depression with psychotic features, bipolar disorder, and depression in the elderly. At McLean Neuropsychiatric Treatment Center, I offer neuromodulation treatments, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), esketamine (Spravato), and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), for treatment of depression and other psychiatric conditions. I completed my medical school and psychiatry residency at the University of Michigan, followed by a geriatric psychiatry fellowship at UCLA. I was previously the director of neuromodulation at the Philadelphia VA and an inpatient psychiatrist at the Palo Alto VA, as well as a clinical assistant professor at Stanford University.
