I am a board-certified psychiatrist by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He completed his undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley, medical degree at Howard University College of Medicine, and psychiatry residency training at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center. I treat a wide range of complex psychiatric conditions with a primary goal of addressing thought and behavioral patterns that affect relationships with others and self. We will reach this goal through a variety of treatment approaches including pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and psychosocial interventions.
A thorough opportunity to share your personal mental health history, medical history, family mental health, upbringing, relationships, employment, and significant life events.
With empathy and encouragement at the foundation of my treatment approach, I have gained a clinical competence that creates a safe environment for patients to communicate their mental health challenges.
I work best with adult patients who believe in taking initiative in their wellness to create lasting change
