Biography
I am a child and adolescent psychiatrist currently seeing patients and supervising trainees primarily in Stanford’s general clinic, focusing on ADHD and disruptive behavior disorders. My clinical practice consists of individual therapy, medication management, and parenting/family work. My research interests include identifying clinical profiles that integrate various information modalities in order to individualize treatment for youth with ADHD and/or anxiety. I am also engaged in developing digital health interventions and understanding the impact of individuals’ perspectives during clinical encounters. My long-term goal is to target treatments to specific deficits to promote long-term health and well-being and improve outcomes for individuals and families affected by these disorders.
