After college, I attended medical school at McGill University. I then completed a residency in Psychiatry at USC and a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Boston Children’s Hospital of Harvard Medical School. After completing these 10 years of training in 1992, I worked mostly for academic centers. I was faculty in the medical schools of Harvard and Tufts universities, and then returned to California where I was faculty at the University of California and USC for many years. For several years I’ve been Board Certified in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, General Adult Psychiatry, and Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry.
Besides being dedicated to medical education, I’ve always been dedicated to providing patients the best care possible. I’ve worked in many settings including inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, telepsychiatry, emergency rooms, and medical/surgical units. My experience includes treating depression, bipolar, anxiety, psychosis, ADHD, and autism.
I believe a careful, empathic evaluation is a cornerstone of appropriate treatment. My aim is to facilitate a safe, warm, welcoming environment, and foster collaboration in developing an individualized, wholistic treatment plan. For medications, it’s usually best to “start low and go slow.” Please contact me if you think I may be of assistance.
