I’m a psychiatrist based in San Diego, CA. I completed my psychiatry residency at UCSD, where I served as Chief Resident in my final year of training.

For two years during my residency, I pursued specialized training at the College Mental Health Program at UCSD and worked with undergraduate and graduate students, including many international students.

Through thoughtful conversation and careful evaluation, I helped students come up with a plan to help them regain their footing and move forward. As my expertise is medication management, I often prescribed medication, though I view medication as just one part of the treatment plan that also includes psychotherapy and more.

It was an honor for me to be a part of these young people’s journeys during one of the most defining times in their lives, and I hope to continue this work in my private practice.
