Hi! I am a board-certified psychiatrist who has been in practice since 2012, and before that I practiced internal medicine. I bring the dual training and years of experience treating the breadth and depth of psychiatry. I treat individuals throughout California ages 10 and up, all diagnoses, on-line and in person. I am based in the San Francisco Bay area, with lovely offices in Walnut Creek and Menlo Park for in-person sessions. I continue to see clients in the state of Georgia as well, and do have appointments there in-person when needed. I look at the whole person, and use medication judiciously and appropriately.
I manage all forms of anxiety (including OCD) and depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and disorders with medical and psychiatric complexity (e.g. TBI, irritable bowel, eating disorders). I can clarify what may have been a confusing clinical picture. I'm gender-diverse and provide affirming care, and understand what it is to be "under the rainbow."
I'm super down-to-earth, friendly, funny (imho), empathic, collaborative, and overall deeply caring, taking the time to listen to you un-rushed. I will meet you where you are. NOTE: please go to the Headway practice website link at the top of the page to book your first appointment (due to volume, I cannot respond to phone inquiries before this).

Please see this page and go to the practice website listed above for more information. Our credentialing application for United Healthcare and Oxford are still pending, as I'm told there has been a slow-down on adding providers (feel free to nudge them!). I do not accept Medicare via Headway.

Sessions combine medication management with supportive/CBT/psychodynamic and interpersonal therapies when indicated. I assess and treat following what is called a bio-psycho-social formulation, and the psycho-social factors affecting each individual will drive the focus of the type(s) of therapy utilized. If needed, we will consider referral to outside therapists for focused work.
