My practice is built on a simple belief: psychiatric care should be personal because each of us is unique. I am a board-certified psychiatrist based in Santa Monica, dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality mental healthcare to adults. In our sessions, we’ll have the space to understand your whole story, not just a diagnosis.

I help adults navigate the complexities of mental health by blending rigorous clinical expertise with a personalized, human-centered approach. Whether you are struggling with a mood disorder, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, OCD, ADHD, or a personality disorder, I am here to help you understand your options.

I offer integrative medication management, which means we closely consider your non-psychiatric medical conditions, background, lifestyle, and goals. By combining evidence-based medicine with a deep appreciation for your individual narrative, I can help you move from simply 'functioning' to truly thriving.
