About
As a Board-Certified Psychiatrist, I see adults and adolescents ages 16 and older who desire evaluation and treatment of their mental health issue(s) regardless of complexity. I offer a complete psychiatric evaluation, including a psychosocial assessment and make recommendations for you based on evidence-based practice guidelines. I have previously worked in the community mental health setting serving the seriously and persistently mentally ill populations of the Bay Area and Southern California. Psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic strategies are tailored to relieve the distressing symptoms impacting your life and well-being.
I am experienced treating all major psychiatric disorders including ADHD, depression (e.g. MDD,) PTSD, OCD, bipolar, generalized anxiety, substance use and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. I offer Office-Based Opioid Treatment (Suboxone) and in-office Spravato (intranasal eskatamine) for treatment-resistant depression or MDD w/ suicidal ideation/behavior.
Current professional affiliations include Medical Director for Lakehouse Recovery Center in Westlake Village, CA; Medical Staff Member, Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC); Faculty Member, Psychiatry Residency Program associated with Community Memorial Health System, VCMC and VCBH.
