I completed my Child and Adolescent training at Cedars-Sinaii Medical center, and am in in private practice in the South Bay. I have remained active training and supervising Child Psychiatry Residents at UCLA, USC, and Cedars- Sinaii. I have also acted as Medical Director at Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic for the past sixteen years, and have experience and value working with an interdisciplinary team. I see the use of medication as part of an overall treatment plan, rather than solely as a "medical" problem.

I am a Yale, UCLA and UCSF-trained addiction psychiatrist. I provide confidential, evidence-based treatment for mental health issues and addictions, including opioids, alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, tobacco, cannabis, and behavioral addictions like internet, gaming, and gambling. These are NOT moral or character failings, but rather medical conditions that can affect anyone at any time, from any walk of life, with oftentimes serious personal, relational, and professional consequences. Though validated treatments exist, these are often underutilized due to medical providers’ discomfort, lack of education, and/or stigma.
