Personalized, evidence‑based psychiatric care for adults in Los Angeles. I combine psychotherapy with judicious use of medication when appropriate.

What is OCD?

Obsessions (intrusive thoughts) and compulsions (repetitive behaviors) that the person feels driven to perform. This is different from being 'detail-oriented'.

Treatments I offer

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, SSRIs at therapeutic doses, and family guidance to reduce accommodation.

When to seek help

If rituals/avoidance consume an hour or more daily or cause significant distress.

Next step: request an appointment or call (310) 961‑4896.

Frequently asked questions

Is ERP uncomfortable?

It’s collaborative and graded. You stay in control; we move at a tolerable pace that still produces change.

Do you treat contamination, harm, relationship, and checking OCD?

Yes—ERP is effective across subtypes; we tailor the exercises.
