If you've been struggling with depression, anxiety, or ADHD and nothing seems to work, I understand how frustrating that feels. You deserve more than another medication trial that goes nowhere. I'm a board-certified psychiatrist and Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association with over 20 years of experience helping patients find answers when previous treatments have fallen short. My approach starts with a thorough evaluation and may include genetic testing to guide prescribing, TMS therapy, or Spravato — advanced options most psychiatrists don't offer. I see patients in-person in Pleasant Hill and Vallejo, and via tele across CA

Smart, capable and secretly struggling. Is this you? Do you feel like you’ve built a successful life, your career, family, checking off milestones...but still feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? You’re not alone. Many high-performing professionals, especially physicians, lawyers, entrepreneurs, executives, and working parents struggle with anxiety, burnout, ADHD, depression, or mood swings that can quietly erode confidence and well-being.
It doesn’t have to be that way. You want more than just coping. You want to feel like yourself again, and live your best life possible.

FAQ - About Teenage Psychiatry
What does an adolescent psychiatrist do?
Adolescent psychiatrists specialize in the mental health care of pre-teens and teens. Unlike general child psychiatrists who may treat anyone under 18 years old, adolescent psychiatrists often concentrate on youth ages 12 to 18 and are well-versed in the social, cognitive, and emotional issues that specifically affect teenagers. They focus on the unique challenges that arise during these years, such as academic pressure, social and peer dynamics, identity development, family conflict, and increasing emotional and behavioral expectations. In addition, adolescence is often the time when mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, or substance use concerns first emerge or intensify.
Psychiatrists who work with teens are trained to address these issues and often use a combination of talk therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and, when indicated, medication to treat these specific conditions. Psychiatrists with expertise in this area are also skilled at engaging teenagers in the therapeutic process and may have particular expertise in balancing the involvement of the teen's family in treatment in a way that balances the teen’s needs and growing independence. They also frequently coordinate care with schools, therapists, and other providers to ensure teens receive well-rounded support.

Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a psychiatrist aligns with your teen's needs and is a good fit.
