Getting a comprehensive understanding of current symptoms, your psychiatric and other medical history, and your goals is an important first step. In a 60-minute session, we will look closely at your history and decide on a treatment plan together.

For those patients for whom medication is an appropriate part of the treatment plan, follow up sessions will focus on your response to medication, side effects and evolving goals of treatment.

Psychotherapy is an evidence-based treatment for many conditions and can be used in addition to medication or on its own, depending on the patient. I offer 50-minute psychotherapy sessions.

I'm here to help you navigate complex mental health challenges, drawing on my previous experience as an attending psychiatrist and lead of the psychiatric emergency department at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center.

I provide personalized medication management and psychotherapy, built on the strong foundation of my time providing continuous, everyday care for hundreds of female veterans at the VA Women’s Clinic.

You can expect the highest standard of evidence-based care, backed by my medical degree (MD) from UCLA and a specialized four-year psychiatry and psychotherapy residency at the renowned UCLA Semel Institute.

I always bring the latest, most effective treatments to our work together, staying at the forefront of the field through my ongoing role as a clinical instructor and supervisor at the UCLA Psychosis Clinic.
