I am a board certified psychiatrist with over 10 years of experience. I completed my child and adolescent psychiatric fellowship at the University of Southern California. I received my general psychiatry training at the University of Los Angeles where I served as Chief Resident and was recognized with the Outstanding Resident Award two years in a row. I was an Attending psychiatrist in India. I am fluent in major Indian sub-continent languages. I currently reside in the Bay Area and enjoy spending time with my son.
