Psychiatrist in Los Angeles, CA

About My Clients

I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD who want a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to care. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, creatives, or students who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burnt out. I welcome people of all identities and backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ communities, and strive to create a safe, affirming space where healing, growth, and confidence can take root.

My Background and Approach

I’m a board-certified psychiatrist with years of experience helping adults work through depression, anxiety, trauma, and ADHD. My training has allowed me to understand not only the science behind mental health but also the human side of recovery. Clients benefit from a thoughtful approach that integrates medication management with a careful consideration of when less medication—or even deprescribing—may be appropriate. I supervise a team at Century City Psychiatry, ensuring every client in our group practice receives consistent, high-quality care. Whether you’re looking for private pay, individualized treatment with me directly, or in-network options through my team, my focus is on creating a safe, collaborative, and affirming environment where you feel supported in moving toward healing and lasting change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, accessible, and deeply respectful of each person’s identity and lived experience. I am committed to creating a safe, affirming environment for LGBTQ+ clients and for people from all cultural and religious backgrounds. I value authenticity, curiosity, and collaboration in the healing process. Beyond clinical care, I’m passionate about mental health education and use social media to share accurate, stigma-reducing information with the broader community. I also support initiatives that increase access to care and reduce barriers for those who may feel overlooked or misunderstood by traditional systems. My goal is always to meet clients where they are, honor their values, and work together toward meaningful change.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
