PSYCHOTHERAPY AND PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY
Welcome. I am a board certified psychiatrist practicing in the Carthay Circle neighborhood of Los Angeles, adjacent to West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Museum Mile.
I see patients ages 16 and older in a comfortable and professional office setting, offering comprehensive psychiatric assessment and treatment. I am trained in both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology and offer a range of approaches to emotional and mental difficulties, including holistic and integrative alternatives. I treat a wide range of problems from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance abuse and eating disorders to interpersonal, relationship, self-esteem and identity issues. I work with individuals, couples and families, tailoring the treatment approach to your specific needs. I have expertise with creative professionals and the unique problems they face psychologically, interpersonally and professionally.
In addition to my private practice I teach residents and students at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the New Center for Psychoanalysis. At UCLA I am past-president of the psychiatric clinical faculty association (PCFA) and director of the psychodynamic psychotherapy concentration. I lecture regularly on a variety of topics ranging from psychotherapy technique and research to psychiatric injuries in the workplace. I also serve regularly as an expert witness in civil litigation and as an expert evaluator in worker's compensation claims.
