With a diverse background in integrative medicine, she has taught at UCLA, UCSD, and the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine and worked at the Chopra Center.

Board-certified in psychiatry, Dr. Budd has 16 years of experience and serves patients across California via telemedicine from her Los Angeles base.
As a sensitive and intuitive person, Dr. Budd faced multiple stress-related health issues during her medical education. In her quest to help herself, she developed a passion for holistic healing. Dr. Budd sees herself as a therapist, artist, and healer, as well as a physician. She has a spiritual, growth-oriented mindset. Her work tends to resonate with open-minded individuals who are willing to view challenges as opportunities. Her specialties include stress/burnout, purpose-finding, relationships, self-esteem, body image, identity issues (including LGBTQ support), neurodivergence, anxiety, mood disorders, CBT/mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, art therapy, Ayurveda, and life transitions (college/grad school, divorce, retirement, job change, adoption/birth, etc.). Dr. Budd does not prescribe controlled substances (benzodiazepines, opiates, stimulants), but she does prescribe other common pharmaceuticals (SSRIs, mood stabilizers, etc.). She sees patients who are stable (working, retired, or students) and seeking to optimize their lives in multiple dimensions (mind-body-spirit, personal, and professional). Dr. Budd offers an inspiring and compassionate space for healing and transformation, skillfully guiding patients on a journey of self-exploration.
