Welcome
I'm a Stanford-trained psychiatrist based in the Bay Area, offering both in-person and virtual appointments from my Menlo Park office. My practice is devoted to helping people live fulfilling and meaningful lives — whether you're navigating a new diagnosis, living with ongoing behavioral health challenges, or feeling stuck and unsure where to turn. I consider it a privilege to serve as a physician to patients during some of the most difficult episodes of their lives.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to each patient. I draw on talk therapy, medication, and other evidence-informed methods to build a treatment plan that fits your circumstances. For patients living with conditions like bipolar disorder and psychosis (sometimes called serious mental illnesses or SMI), I work closely with families, who can be essential partners in recovery and long-term stability.
Alongside my clinical practice, I conduct neuroscience and psychiatry research at Stanford; with peer-reviewed publications in Nature and Science, covered by NPR, and recognized by the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH). I ensure every patient clearly understands their diagnosis and treatment options, and what the latest advances might mean for their care.
