Hello,
During these unprecedented times, it is now more important than ever to focus efforts on obtaining optimum mental health. By arrangement, I am providing Zoom appointments during CO-VID 19, with the hope of resuming regular appointments in the future.
I have been in private practice in West Los Angeles for over 30 years, bringing great experience in treating patients with complex psychiatric/medical, pain disorders and dementias to all my patients. I offer great experience in treating patients with neurological disorders like Parkinson’s Disease & various dementias including Traumatic Brain Trauma (TBI).
My main specialty is psychopharmacology. I specialize in Mood (Depression/Bi-polar), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Anxiety, PTSD, and those with Complex Medical Issues. I treat teenagers, young adults, and geriatric patients.
My approach is a compassionate and mindful approach to medicine. People need to feel comfortable and cared for in the process of medical and psychiatric treatment. I often combine meditative techniques with exercise and stress reduction as part of my patient’s medical psychiatric treatment. This is very important.
