I am accepting patients for ketamine treatment and medication management. I am a psychiatrist who works with patients with a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and psychotic illness. My practice is a multimodal approach including medication management, ketamine, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). I enjoy working with patients and finding a treatment plan that works for them. Send me a message about your goals, treatment desired, and insurance carrier and if I have availability someone from my office will reach out to schedule you.
After completing a bachelor’s degree at MIT, I earned my MD from Johns Hopkins and competed psychiatry residency at UCSF. I have conducted clinical research at Johns Hopkins, the NIH, and UCSF, having worked on studies of psilocybin and ketamine.
In my practice, I provide medication management, TMS, and IV ketamine/Spravato. I also have an interest in LGBTQ mental health care and am happy to provide care for patients anywhere on the queer-spectrum. On a more personal note, I enjoy hiking, travel, fantasy novels, and philosophy.
