Background & Education
B.S. Neurobiology cum laude- University of Washington. Seattle, WA
M.D. - Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Chicago, IL
Adult Psychiatry Residency Program - University of California. Irvine, CA
I have advanced clinical training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, perinatal psychiatry (certified through Postpartum Health International), and collaborative/integrated care.
My prior experience includes serving as a staff psychiatrist at VA San Diego and as an Assistant Clinical Professor at University of California San Diego, where I helped train and supervise resident physicians.
In my role at the VA, I also served as a consultant to primary care physicians and treated patients with various co-occurring psychiatric and medical conditions.
In addition to outpatient practice, I have worked with patients in Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), residential treatment, inpatient psychiatric units, primary care clinics, drug rehabilitation, and emergency settings. My extensive experience in various treatment settings allows me to provide exceptional care to patients across a range of illness severity.
