As a board-certified psychiatrist with decades of experience in the San Francisco Bay Area, I specialize in providing comprehensive mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults. My practice integrates insight-oriented psychotherapy with evidence-based medication management to address conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I prioritize personalized treatment plans that leverage both traditional therapeutic methods and modern innovations such as telepsychiatry.My work extends beyond individual care, including consultations for mental health professionals and institutions, and I founded Luminello, an electronic medical record platform designed to enhance patient-provider communication. With a career spanning clinical practice, teaching, and research, I emphasize open dialogue and long-term solutions tailored to each patient's unique needs.

Questions
Do you accept insurance?
We operate on an out-of-network basis, allowing for complete confidentiality and treatment flexibility. Patients typically receive 50-80% reimbursement after meeting deductibles.
What services are available via telepsychiatry?
All services except initial controlled substance prescriptions can be delivered via secure video. DEA regulations require one in-person visit every two years for medication management.
What are your cancellation policies?
A 48-hour notice is required for cancellations. Missed appointments without prior notice will incur full session fees as we hold time specifically for each patient.
How do parent sessions work for child patients?
Parent strategy sessions focus on understanding child behavior patterns. Children must have a parent present during sessions, while adolescents may use separate but connected video connections.
What makes your practice unique?
Combining board-certified psychiatry with telehealth innovation, we offer personalized care without insurance company interference, supported by academic expertise and technology development experience.
