I came to BACA Telehealth in 2021, practicing telehealth remotely from Sacramento. Originally from Palo Alto, I completed my undergraduate degree from U.C. Berkeley. After attending the Bryn Mawr College Pre-Med/ Post Bacc Program, I went to Temple University Medical School where I got my MD. While a fourth year med student at Temple, in Philadelphia, I took an elective at UCSF Langley Porter, and became interested in child and adolescent psychiatry.

After completing my psychiatry residency at Jefferson Medical College, I completed my Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Child Guidance Center, PCGC.

In addition to being trained in Psychodynamic psychotherapy, family therapy and pediatric psychopharmacology, I am interested in Integrative Psychiatry. I believe that a strong collaboration with parents, as well as an individualized focus on the well being of each child or adolescent, is an essential step toward positive outcomes of treatment.
