Services
After the initial evaluation, we will work together to create an individual treatment plan for you or your child. This may include the use of medications, talk therapy, or both depending on your goals. If you are interested in the services offered, please fill out the New Patient Inquiry Form below.
Medication Management
Medications can be a helpful tool for many psychiatric conditions. Together we’ll discuss risks, benefits, important side effects, and alternatives. Working with me does not mean you must take medications— it simply means I can offer this as a treatment option.
Sometimes medication management means tapering or de-prescribing medications that no longer serve you. Though I may be an expert on medications, you are the expert on yourself. And so let’s work together to find the safest options for you.
When it comes to the treatment of children and adolescents with psychotropic medications, it behooves all those involved to take an even more thoughtful approach as this is often a difficult step for many families to take. My goal is to create a space for us to think together about whether this makes sense for you and your child.
Talk Therapy
Psychotherapy or talk therapy is a special interest of mine. There are many types of therapies out there. Rather than getting lost in acronyms, perhaps we can approach with open and curious minds about how best to co-create a safe space to explore your inner self. Though I often weave in helpful concepts from a variety of therapeutic modalities, my approach is psychodynamic/psychoanalytic in nature.
I welcome patients who are seeking therapy only. If you are already established with a therapist and seeking medication management only, I would be glad to collaborate with your clinician so that we can work together as a team.
Telemedicine
I offer both in person appointments at my Newport Beach office and telemedicine appointments, with a preference to hold our first meeting in person. Telemedicine is provided via a confidential and HIPPA-compliant video conferencing service that is accessible through the patient portal.
