About
Be seen during flexible hours, within a week of your request! Have you ever heard your psychiatrist say, “I’m here to prescribe your medications; talk to your therapist about that”? My approach is just the opposite! Your story is essential to making sure you get the proper treatment, whether involving meds, therapy, a combination, or neither. I request and welcome your opinions and preferences while making your treatment plan. I make sure to answer questions about your symptoms and treatments in a judgment-free zone, and in language free of medical jargon.
I am extensively trained in psychodynamic & psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and have received psychoanalytic psychotherapy training at the reputable Los Angeles New Center for Psychoanalysis. I love to treat people from all walks of life, and specialize in anxiety disorders (social anxiety, OCD, panic) and minority mental health. LGBTQI+ friendly.
If you're ready to make a change, or want to understand the reasons why you keep getting stuck at the same place, I'm happy to help you find a way to move forward. Call or email me today for a free 15-minute phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you!
