I am a double-board certified psychiatrist, specializing in both Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and General Psychiatry. Based in Los Angeles, my training has taken me through some of the most respected institutions, including UCLA, USC, Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), and the Veterans Administration. These experiences have shaped my approach to care, blending the latest research with a deep, compassionate understanding of my patients' unique needs. I believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms, and I am committed to providing a safe, supportive environment for you to explore and address your mental health. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, or neurodivergence such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, I'm here to walk with you every step of the way. My goal is to create a treatment plan that's tailored to you, with the hope of empowering you to not only overcome challenges but to thrive.

I am practicing in Newport Beach since 1993. I completed Psychiatry Residency at King Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles in 1992 and fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry at USC Institute of Psychiatry and the Law in 1993. I have served as the Medical Director of Inpatient Psychiatry units and Partial Hospitalization Programs for over a decade. In addition I have been providing psychiatric consultations on complex, challenging patients on the medical floors and Intensive Care Units at Hoag, Fountain Valley and Orange Coast Memorial Hospital since 1994.
