As a board-certified psychiatric provider, I specialize in evidence-based medication management and compassionate mental-health care for individuals of all genders, backgrounds, and identities. My approach integrates medical expertise with a deep understanding of the human experience — offering medication support for those navigating anxiety, depression, Insomnia, OCD , Panic disorder, ADHD, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, Postpartum depression and premenstrual dysphoria.

I am a clinical psychologist practicing in West Los Angeles, with a foundation in psychoanalytic therapy. I earned my doctorate from the California Institute of Integral Studies and completed postdoctoral training at the Wright Institute Los Angeles. In my clinical work I demonstrate careful listening, conceptual rigor, and sustained attention to unconscious processes, language, and relational dynamics. I am particularly interested in how symptoms, impasses, and forms of suffering are structured, and in how meaning emerges over time through the analytic process. I value approaches that resist quick reassurance or technique-driven solutions in favor of patience, precision, and respect for the client's subjectivity. In the consulting room, I provide an environment where complexity can be thought rather than reacted to. My work emphasizes tolerating uncertainty, attending to transference and resistance, and remaining ethically responsive to power, dependency, and responsibility as they arise in treatment. I offer individual and group therapy for teens and adults, with in-person sessions in Beverly Hills and telehealth throughout California. Clinical supervision is also available.

What if one session could make all the difference? Anxiety, depression, fears, traumatic events or memories, irritability, triggers, and reactivity. You might have tried therapy before but felt like it was focused just on “coping”...not on actually getting to the root of the issue. You’re ready to go deep and put these triggers and patterns to rest for good. Brainspotting (BSP) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offer fast, gentle, and highly effective relief, without the need to talk about your problems in detail. It’s time to move past the triggers and patterns that have been holding you back far too long. Deep, long-lasting change doesn’t have to take years. ART and BSP empower your brain to do the healing work so you can finally re-process and neutralize painful memories, experiences, and events, making room for feelings of more calm, clarity, and relief. Research shows that if often takes just 1-5 sessions to experience significant changes. As a client myself, I was able to access and resolve things that talking alone could not fully repair—and it’s because of my experience that I decided to get trained. These methods have made such an impact on my life that I wanted to be able to bring them to my clients, too. Together, we can discuss which option is best for you. Reach out to get started!
