"As a psychiatrist it is my goal, and privilege, to provide compassionate and effective care by utilizing current evidence-based diagnostic and treatment modalities, and by building therapeutic rapport with patients and their families. In addition to being trained to treat all ages, I bring specialized training and experience in utilizing medication and therapy with children and adolescents, to include a variety of behavioral health concerns and complex care.
I am grateful to have this opportunity to serve in this amazing community. I appreciate that seeking Behavioral health treatment for oneself and/or a child can be daunting, but I hope to quickly and consistently ease those concerns. With every interaction I strive to help patients and their families feel welcomed, respected, heard, and informed. Diagnoses are made carefully, and treatment can include talk/behavioral therapy and/or medications. I work to ensure that patients and/or families feel like a central part of the treatment team and decision-making process.
I was born and raised in southern California. After serving a mission to the Dominican Republic as a young adult I resolved to dedicate my career toward alleviating the suffering and pain of others as a physician. Through my service in the US Army, I’ve had wonderful opportunities to gain experience as a physician and psychiatrist in a variety of locations (Colorado, Utah, Hawaii, Texas, Alaska, and the Republic of Korea) providing care to service members and their family members in addition to supervising a child/adolescent behavioral health clinic in Texas and advising its implementation in Korea."
