Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in 92617

For the past two years, I have been in the outpatient therapy setting, specializing in the treatment of OCD, Social Anxiety Disorder, Specific Phobias, and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors. More recently I was trained in the treatment of Depression. Before this, I had six years of experience working within the acute care setting in which I provided clinical intervention for life-threatening illnesses, death/dying, substance abuse, traumatic injuries, suicidality and self-harm, and adjustment issues. My therapeutic style is solution-oriented, outcome-based. I also really emphasize self-compassion.

The overall course of treatment will ultimately utilize a collaborative approach in helping you achieve mutually formulated treatment goals to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. If you believe that you need a referral to a psychiatrist or other health care professional, we have the resources to provide you with an appropriate referral.

I have been working with families and individuals over the past ten years to navigate mental and behavioral health challenges. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, suicidality, Autism spectrum, attention difficulties, executive functioning difficulties, gender identity, and much more. I believe that it is important to be eclectic but selective, meaning, having knowledge of many different modalities of therapy, but understanding which one would work best for each situation. The basis of therapy will be a trusting, non-judgmental relationship where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself.

I utilized a variety of techniques that are based in both Interpersonal and person-centered psychology, for me this means that we will work from the perspective that each individual has the answers they need. We will utilize Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (among others as needed). I also practice trauma-informed treatment. I have experience working with all ages and groups of people with a variety of concerns. Additionally, I have experience working with those in crisis, struggling with eating disorders, mood disorders, relational issues, maladaptive coping skills, addiction, and life adjustment disorders.

I am a Solution-focused therapist who uses a Cognitive approach. I emphasize spirituality and existentialism in my practice.

My approach is rooted in warmth and collaboration, focusing on confronting challenges in a safe environment. We will work together to understand your struggles, fostering self-compassion and acceptance while exploring avenues for positive change and ending unhelpful patterns.
