Anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and Substance Use / Addiction

Great to meet you!

I am a general adult psychiatrist with special expertise in treating PTSD, depression, and anxiety/OCD. I am only accepting patients for medical visits at this time, not talk therapy.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I earned my bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College, medical degree from Vanderbilt University and completed residency at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. In order to bring balance and humanism to my work as a physician managing medications, I have trained in psychodynamic talk therapy and other forms of behavioral therapy.

What you can expect from our first session

With a personal background in healing arts such as meditation and mindfulness, I bring a sense of grounded warmth and calm to my practice. My focus is to allow my patients to take the lead in their treatment, and to have a focus on wellness and inner growth.
