I am a Los Angeles-based psychiatrist with a private practice in West LA and primarily see patients in-person for both medication and psychotherapy. I believe people can best realize their potential to grow in the context of supportive relationships and that a good relationship with a therapist can change your life. While I individualize treatment depending on your needs/preferences, I also stay abreast of the research literature to give you state-of-the-art treatment scientifically supported by the most current evidence.
I have expertise in psychopharmacology (medications) and psychotherapy, and specialize in Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). I provide integrated and comprehensive treatment suited to each individual. I believe the best treatment approach is collaborative, grounded in respect and supportive of who you are. LGBTQ+ patients welcome.
In addition to expertise in ISTDP, I have specialized experience in women’s mental health and trauma. As the parent of a trans child, I enjoy working with trans and gender nonconforming young adults. I invite you to reach out and contact me.
