I understand the relentless cycle of OCD can feel all-consuming for you and your child. As a psychiatrist serving Beverly Hills and Los Angeles families, I’ve seen firsthand how OCD’s unique challenges affect children, adolescents, and adults. My approach combines deep empathy with evidence-based treatment methods. Whether you or your child struggles with intrusive thoughts, repetitive rituals, or avoidance behaviors, I create personalized treatment plans that address the core mechanisms of OCD. Many Beverly Hills families find relief through my comprehensive care, which includes both medication management and specialized psychotherapy. I believe healing happens when we understand the whole person, not just their symptoms.

My specialized training in child and adolescent psychiatry allows me to recognize OCD’s unique presentation across developmental stages. Young children might show their OCD through excessive washing, checking, or ordering objects, while teenagers often experience distress over unwanted thoughts or perform elaborate mental rituals. I work closely with parents to identify triggers and develop coping strategies that work at home and school. My Beverly Hills practice offers same-day appointments for urgent concerns because I know waiting can make symptoms worse. Furthermore, I collaborate with teachers and school counselors throughout Los Angeles to ensure consistent support across all environments.

What sets my OCD treatment apart is my integrative approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I primarily use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a highly effective form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), often combined with medication management when appropriate. I always discuss the benefits and risks thoroughly with families. My experience treating patients from diverse backgrounds in Los Angeles has taught me that OCD manifests differently in each person. I also incorporate family therapy sessions because OCD affects entire households, not just individual patients. Additionally, I provide practical tools for managing compulsions and tolerating distress in real-world situations that Beverly Hills families commonly face.

Choosing the right psychiatrist for OCD treatment is a crucial step in your family’s healing journey. My commitment extends beyond individual sessions—I’m here through elementary years, teenage challenges, and young adult transitions. I understand the distress parents experience when their child suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. My Beverly Hills office provides a safe space where both children and parents feel heard and supported. Most importantly, I view mental health as an ongoing partnership, not a quick fix. Together, we’ll build lasting strategies that help your family regain control and thrive.
