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
I specialize in treatment-resistant Depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and Bipolar d/o. When traditional medications have not worked, I offer advanced options: including precision medicine with genetic testing, TMS, and Spravato (esketamine). Board-certified psychiatrist with 20+ years of experience. You deserve more than trial and error — you deserve answers.
I know reaching out to a psychiatrist takes courage, and I want you to know that whatever you are going through, you do not have to face it alone. I have spent over twenty years helping people find their way through depression, anxiety, trauma, and other challenges. My door is open, and I am here to listen with no judgment, just genuine care and real answers
