Struggling with OCD or anxiety can feel like an endless battle with your own mind. You may be caught in cycles of doubt, fear, or compulsions that disrupt your life and leave you exhausted. I specialize in helping people break free from these patterns, using evidence-based therapy to build resilience and regain control. Together, we’ll work toward a life where your fears no longer dictate your choices—where confidence, clarity, and peace of mind take the lead.
I'm the clinic director and co-founder of The Bay Psychotherapy Center, which specializes in science-based treatments delivered in a personalized and compassionate way.
As an expert in treating OCD and Anxiety, I frequently recommend exposure therapy for addressing fears or anxieties, promoting a more mindful way of living. This involves voluntarily confronting what keeps you feeling stuck.
Facing fears isn't about getting rid of them but discovering your resilience. I guide my clients every step of the way.
My colleagues and clients have described my approach as both kind and straightforward. In our sessions, I strive to create a warm, trusting environment where you feel comfortable sharing and addressing what's most important to you.
