Many adults appear to be functioning well on the outside, yet internally feel strained, stuck, or depleted.

If you’re managing responsibilities but noticing persistent anxiety, low mood, obsessive thinking, or emotional blunting—especially in a demanding role—thoughtful psychiatric care can help.

Care Guided by Clinical Judgment

I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist in Cedar Park, Texas, with training at Johns Hopkins Hospital and the NIH. My practice is designed for adults who value careful thinking, collaboration, and long-term perspective.

There is no single “best” psychiatrist for everyone. What matters most is clinical judgment, range of treatment options, and mutual fit. Care here is guided by those principles—choosing the right level of care at the right time, and adjusting deliberately as we learn what actually helps.

Care is guided by identifying fit early—because alignment between the approach, the person, and the problem is one of the strongest predictors of meaningful progress

An Integrated Model of Care

Comprehensive assessment
Understanding patterns, context, and goals—not just symptoms.

Medication when helpful
Used selectively, with clarity and close follow-up.

TMS when medications fall short
A non-invasive, evidence-based option for depression and OCD.

Targeted therapy approaches
Skills-based or depth-oriented work, chosen intentionally rather than by default.

The Goal

The goal is meaningful change, not just coping—combining sound clinical judgment and practical tools to restore clarity, confidence, and emotional flexibility over time.

If this approach resonates, the next step is an initial consultation to determine whether working together would be helpful

Practical Details

I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna, and also work with private-pay patients who prefer greater flexibility or continuity of care. The office is centrally located within the Austin area.
