My Stanford-training, including serving as Chief Resident, has equipped me with the most up-to-date treatment strategies to help my clients achieve their goals as soon as possible. I work diligently and tirelessly with my clients, utilizing both focused psychotherapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and evidence-based medication treatments. I also offer appointments via Skype for my clients who travel frequently or have difficulty coming to Los Altos regularly. Contact me for a free phone consultation, to see if I may be the right fit for you.
In addition to treating the full range of psychiatric disorders, I have a particular interest in mood & anxiety disorders, ADHD and stress reduction. I have trained extensively in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with David Burns, M.D.), Mindfulness-Based approaches and pharmacology to create highly individualized treatment plans.
I am a participating provider with HUMANA. If you have another insurance carrier aside from Humana, I can provide my services on a 'fee-for-service' basis. I will provide you with all the necessary documentation required for potential reimbursement (common with PPO plans). Many clients in my practice get reimbursed a substantial portion of the fees.
