Hi! I’m a board-certified psychiatrist practicing medicine in San Francisco and via video visits throughout the state of CA. I treat a variety of mental health conditions but the majority of my practice is focused on the treatment of depression, anxiety, stress, OCD, & insomnia. I offer both medication and therapy for adults 21-64. For some people, medication can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life as issues are worked through. We can explore if this is a good option for you, or if changes need to be made to your current medication. My approach incorporates medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions.
In my clinical work I strive to provide compassionate, non-judgmental care in a confidential setting. Together we will collaborate to understand your individual background, current concerns, and treatment goals to achieve lasting change. It truly is a privilege to work with patients in this way, and I look forward to meeting you.
