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.

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.

Couples Therapy

Deciding to seek couples therapy or marital counseling can be a positive step toward healing a wounded relationship, making a healthy relationship stronger, or clarifying the direction your relationship is going. We pick our partners because they fulfill a part of our life that is left wanting when not with them. While this can be a point of support and happiness, it is often what drives couples apart. Navigating and understanding these differences in personality and how each partner communicates their needs can provide a fresh start to a frustrated relationship.

Couples may wish to address:

  • Wanting to increase communication 

  • How to rejuvenate a marriage

  • Infidelity

  • Process the goals and direction of a relationship

  • Sexual and intimacy related concerns

  • Dealing with the effects of chronic medical illness

  • Understanding how the contribution of each individuals unconscious life and past experience contributes to the quality of the relationship
