I’m a general psychiatrist dedicated to helping individuals achieve lasting mental wellness through evidence-based care and a collaborative, personalized approach. My training at Baylor College of Medicine provided a strong foundation in both medication management and psychotherapy, including psychodynamic, supportive, and cognitive behavioral therapy—all of which I thoughtfully integrate into my clinical practice.
My experience across a wide range of clinical settings, from renowned psychiatric hospitals to community-based programs, has allowed me to care for individuals from all walks of life. These opportunities have deepened my commitment to treating mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, and ADHD, and to helping patients with complex or treatment-resistant conditions. I also lead Clarity Clinic’s Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) program, providing care for individuals whose mood symptoms have not improved with traditional treatment approaches.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that meaningful healing begins with a strong, trusting relationship. I take time to understand each patient’s unique story and enjoy helping professionals navigate life transitions and stressors—whether personal or career-related. I emphasize lifestyle factors such as exercise, nutrition, and relationship health as essential parts of a holistic approach to well-being.
In addition to my clinical work, I enjoy contributing to the academic side of psychiatry. I’ve co-authored book chapters on child and adolescent development as well as the neurobiology of OCD, reflecting my ongoing interest in understanding the science that supports compassionate, effective care.
