I am board certified in adult psychiatry and a diplomat member of American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). I am also a former faculty member at my alma mater, Griffin Memorial Residency Training Program in Norman Oklahoma.
As a psychiatrist, I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health and emotional problems. I work with patients ages 18 and above. My expertise includes both psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. I am a firm believer in a person’s autonomy, and I aim to build a strong therapeutic alliance with my patients to foster trusting and caring relationships. I have extensive experience working with patients of various acuity and complications listed below.
