He pursued Psychiatry Residency training at UCLA-Resnick Neuropsychiatric Institute and West Los Angeles VA Medical Center, where he mentored junior residents as Chief Resident of the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit.

He is certified as an Interpersonal Psychotherapist and has specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (including Exposure with Response Prevention for OCD). He is especially interested in reducing the stigma that often surrounds mental illness in general, including within religious/faith communities.​
