I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to helping patients improve their mental health and overall well-being. I have authored numerous research papers and coauthored a bestselling book on mental health. My training includes fellowships at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and Columbia University, and I received my medical training at Harvard Medical School and UCLA. With extensive experience treating depression, ADHD, and anxiety disorders, I am well prepared to support a wide range of mental health needs.
First session
My approach to care is collaborative, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based medicine. I believe that effective mental health treatment starts with truly understanding each person’s unique history, goals, and challenges. I take time to listen carefully and work with you to create a treatment plan that feels supportive, practical, and aligned with your values.
Strengths
I use a comprehensive approach that may include medication management when appropriate, while also emphasizing the important roles of lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management in overall mental health. I aim to provide clear education about diagnoses and treatment options so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Ideal clients

Focus on medication and interventional therapies but also include exercise, nutrition as well. Patient should have therapist and also be open and willing to engage in exercise and mindfulness and appreciate how important non pharmacological therapy is in addition to medication or interventional therapy for treatment.
