Experience

I am a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist at Stanford University. I conducted my adult psychiatric training at Emory University and my child and adolescent psychiatric training at Stanford University. I have been practicing psychiatry for years and am board-certified in general psychiatry.

I have participated in a number of research studies, published scientific articles on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and authored the learning disorder chapter in Treating Adolescents, "A step-by-step guidance for the effective clinical treatment of specific disorders." I serve as a selected contributor for the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) "Healthy Minds. Healthy Lives." blog. As a frequent speaker, I have presented on a number of mental health topics including pediatric bipolar disorder, social media, cyber-bullying, sports psychiatry, cultural psychiatry and global mental health. I also co-teach an undergraduate psychology class at Stanford University called "Mental Health in Collegiate Athletes".  


I have trained extensively in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and T.E.A.M. Therapy with Dr. David Burns, MD at Stanford University. I employ mindfulness and other treatment modalities as well, often working collaboratively with families to find the perfect approach. These treatment methods, if performed effectively, can improve a significant variety of psychological and psychiatric disorders.

As a member of Stanford University Hospital's Eating Disorder Program, I am regularly consulted by teens and their families for "Family-Based Therapy", also called the "Maudsley Approach". This is the most evidence-based treatment for Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa.  


My work has encompassed a wide variety of patients, including those dealing with complicated and life-altering ADHD, severe depression, and crippling anxiety. I have also had the unique experience of working closely with Division I college/high school athletes and entrepreneurs/founders in Silicon Valley, helping them improve their performance and cope with their high-stress environments.
