“Respect is not fear and awe; it denotes… the ability to see a person as [they are], to be aware of [their] unique individuality.”— Erich Fromm

Kevin’s approach to psychiatry is rooted in this belief. As a first-generation immigrant, he grew up navigating the complexities of multiple cultural worlds—experiences that shaped his deep appreciation for nuance, difference, and human individuality. Teachers who met him with curiosity rather than judgment helped him feel seen, and this continues to influence the way he shows up for his own patients today.

Whether someone is beginning therapy and medication support for the first time or looking for a new direction, Kevin leads with curiosity, respect, and a genuine desire to understand the whole person. His practice emphasizes collaborative decision-making, where clients are partners in their care. He integrates medication management with therapy and non-pharmacological approaches such as sleep, exercise, and lifestyle support, while remaining fully open to clients’ ideas and lived experience. Kevin grew up in Texas and completed his B.S. in Biology at The University of Texas at Austin, earned his M.D. from UT Southwestern, and completed his psychiatry residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is a board-certified adult psychiatrist.

On a personal note, I hold Kevin in the highest regard. We worked together at Compass Health Center, where psychiatrists lead multidisciplinary teams and collaborate closely with therapists across all levels of care. Even in that fast-paced, high-acuity setting, Kevin consistently demonstrated warmth, patience, and thoughtful communication—qualities that build trust quickly with both clients and colleagues. He truly listens to what matters, considers the full context of a person’s life, and engages openly with other professionals to ensure coordinated, whole-person care. Kevin is a clinician I feel confident referring clients to and someone I look forward to collaborating with whenever the opportunity arises.
