I am a Los Angeles based board certified child and adolescent psychiatrist and adult psychiatrist. I treat a variety of age ranges and diagnoses, and although primarily a telehealth provider, I am open to arranging home visits as well. Transitions are hard across age ranges, whether that is middle school into high school, change of jobs, change in romance, etc. Of importance to me are the changes in childhood and their long-term impact on social and academic development. I believe that early intervention can have major impacts later in life which led to me pursuing my child and adolescent fellowship.
My fellowship training especially helps me with children and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, and ADHD most commonly. Despite that training, I also see adult patients. I provide medication management, and can also provide weekly therapy services as well. For certain cases, I am open to online play therapy through video games as well.
If you feel like yourself or your child is struggling, isolating, or having a hard time in general and needs some sort of increased support please feel free to reach out. The easiest way to coordinate care will be through the patient portal on my website.

To give patients greater flexibility in treatment options I am not in-network for any insurance providers. I can provide a superbill for out-of-network benefits which should hopefully get a portion of the costs reimbursed!

Dr. Kang was quick to reach out and provided a thorough assessment when consulting about a shared case. His diagnostic impressions were well developed and it was clear he spent a significant amount of time with the family to develop those impressions.

My style typically gravitates towards cognitive behavioral therapy. This often requires digging a bit deeper and finding out what cognitive distortions are beneath the content being discussed. Then, exercising our ability to talk about the truth behind that cognition, but most importantly any falsehood behind it. I am also open to feedback to what you need most during any given session.
