About
I am a board certified adult, child, and adolescent psychiatrist who practices both psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. What this means is that I am able to prescribe medication when needed. My approach to treatment relies heavily on a strong therapeutic relationship and I have been trained, and provided treatment, in numerous settings including inpatient psychiatry units, emergency settings and outpatient clinics. In addition to working in private practice, I evaluate and treat children and adolescents in UCLA's Emergency Room.
I graduated from Skidmore College and completed my pre-medical training at Columbia University. I earned my medical degree from the University of North Carolina, and attended The University of Pennsylvania for Adult Psychiatry Residency. I then completed fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at UCLA.
My practice is located on the East side of Los Angeles, servicing the communities of Hollywood, Atwater, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Highland Park, Downtown LA, and surrounding areas.
