Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
I respect all views on the topic of psychiatric medications and place the utmost importance on client autonomy and decision-making. I am here to let you know what your options are, but you make the decisions. Side effects are a real concern, and should not be ignored. It is your quality of life; the choices should be yours too. I have always worked in close collaboration with clients’ therapists and respected their decisions around whether they choose to pursue therapy in conjunction with medications, or not. I offer telehealth sessions (only) with evening hours and weekend hours available.

A valued mentor once said to me, “Sometimes we can save the whole world but we can’t find our own way out of a paper bag.” He was commenting on the situation we humans find ourselves in when dealing with overwhelming worry, loss or trauma. On the surface, some people appear to have it all, but many are silently suffering on the inside. One of the biggest challenges we humans face is recognizing when we are stuck in a pattern of dysfunctional behavior. One of the subsequent challenges after that is asking for professional help to navigate a way out of that dysfunctional space.

I see my role as a psychiatrist similar that of a consultant. While the client is the CEO of their body, I feel it takes teamwork and proper collaboration with their family, physician and other mental health providers to come to a well-rounded treatment plan that fits them personally. It is vital to collaborate with their PCP and associated mental health providers to help them heal as seamlessly as possible. Good communication is one of my hallmarks. I do not simply “push pills”, but rather seek a holistic and varied treatment approach that focuses on therapy, mindfulness, minimizing substances, nutrition, exercise and self-care.
