I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of dedicated healthcare experience. My career began in hospital and home care settings, and for the past 8 years, I have served as a nurse practitioner, specializing in psychiatric and family healthcare. My focus is on helping individuals navigate the complexities of mental health, including conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, ADHD, OCD, and stress stemming from various sources.

I am a Psychiatrist with over 30 years of experience in the field of mental health, practicing primarily in southern California. I see patients at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California and Gateways Hospital in Los Angeles, California. I attended medical school in Armenia, completed his residency in the United States, and a fellowship program for Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) at Duke University.

Embracing the courage it takes to seek help, my practice offers a supportive space aimed at overcoming stigma and past hurdles. With a holistic focus, we prioritize resilience and coping strategies over medication alone, exploring a broad spectrum of therapeutic options tailored to individual strengths. This approach ensures comfort and empowerment, guiding patients through their journey towards healing with understanding and inclusivity.

My role as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, serves every facet of health care because health cannot exist without mental health. I serve the public by preventing, identifying and treating psychiatric conditions through holistic approaches in many ways. As a provider, I use biological interventions, psychotherapies, and traditional approaches by partnering with people penetrating conditions and making a difference in their lives. I employ personal brokenness, illness, experience, culture and history of patients to facilitate healing.
