States of Mind Psychiatry

Being human involves experiencing a wide range of states of mind—from joy to suffering, from moments we wish could last forever to those we long to escape. Each experience offers insight into who we are and how we relate to the world around us.

As a psychiatrist, my role is to help you understand your difficulties in a clear and structured way.

In my practice, I take the time to examine how your symptoms developed, how they affect you, and how they relate to your biology, your psychological history, and your current life circumstances.

The goal is to provide individualized psychiatric care, with the understanding that mental health conditions—whether anxiety, depression, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related disorders, psychosis, or ADHD—do not present in the same way across individuals. Each person’s experience is different.

I am a board-certified psychiatrist and neuroscientist (MD-PhD) providing telepsychiatry in California for adults. My work centers on comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and ongoing individualized treatment, integrating medication management with psychotherapy when appropriate.

I devote meaningful time to each session and work collaboratively with you to support your goals. My practice is intentionally small to ensure individualized care, where each patient has the time and attention needed to understand how their symptoms developed and how best to approach treatment.
