"I am a dedicated psychiatrist serving children, adolescents, and adults in Champaign, Illinois. I offer both in-person and virtual consultations starting from age 3, and I am licensed in both Illinois and Ohio. My mission is simple: to help my patients not just survive, but truly thrive. When working with young children, my focus is on minimizing the use of psychotropic medications unless absolutely necessary. I conduct a thorough 90-minute interview with both the child and their parents to gain a comprehensive understanding of their needs. If appropriate, I collaborate with the child’s therapists, school counselors, social workers, and teachers to advocate for their mental health within the educational system. I believe early intervention is crucial in addressing psychiatric disorders, often leading to the best outcomes and even full remission. For college students, I provide personalized psychiatric care aimed at enhancing emotional and cognitive functioning. Having immigrated to the U.S. during high school and attended UCLA for my undergraduate studies, I understand the pressures and stresses faced in competitive environments like UIUC. I specialize in supporting students from diverse cultural backgrounds as they adjust to the U.S. college system, and I am happy to collaborate with parents for additional support if they wish. With adult patients, I pay special attention to managing drug-drug interactions and the interplay between medical and psychiatric conditions. My aim is to improve productivity while minimizing the cognitive and metabolic side effects associated with psychotropic medications. I also believe in incorporating holistic and integrative medicine when appropriate. To ensure accessibility during challenging times, I maintain a few urgent care slots for after-hours and weekend appointments. I specialize in treating a wide range of conditions, including bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, substance abuse, autism, OCD, eating disorders, psychosis, marijuana use disorder, alcohol use disorder, mood disorders, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, developmental disorders, fetal alcohol syndrome, treatment-refractory depression, anxiety disorders, cognitive disorders, dementia, cultural psychiatry, dysthymia, dyslexia, bedwetting, social anxiety, school refusal, nightmares, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, intermittent explosive disorder, borderline personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, bipolar II, schizoaffective disorder, drug-induced akathisia, conversion disorder, video game addiction, internet addiction, fibromyalgia, sports psychiatry, and career guidance.
