If you or your child suffer from OCD or other anxiety disorders, you're not alone. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness, yet most sufferers don't receive proper, evidence-based treatment. OCD/anxiety can cause problems socially, academically, professionally, and create chaos with family members. The good news is that there is help. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has repeatedly shown to be the most effective approach for defeating OCD and anxiety. CBT creates new neuro-pathways by changing the way you think and behave. It's basically exercise for the brain. The more you flex those brain muscles, the stronger you become.

OCD is a debilitating condition that consists of irrational or excessive fears and concerns that become obsessive and manifest as intrusive, unwanted, disturbing thoughts, images or impulses. These obsessions are accompanied by repetitive and time-consuming mental and behavioral acts called rituals or compulsions that are done to prevent bad things associated with the obsessions from happening. Avoidance is the third component of OCD, which involves deliberately staying away from things, people and places that trigger or worsen obsessive fears and concerns, or to avoid the risk of some dreaded event.

Therapy is a step in becoming a more resilient you. My goal is to collaborate with you to deepen your focus and understanding of yourself.

I work with individuals and adolescents as well as couples, providing a safe space for an exploration of inner distress.

Welcome to the psychotherapy world! I work in a collaborative and compassionate style to help further understand and address the concerns that led you to search for some relief from the way you are currently feeling. We all try to use the best coping strategies but when excessive worries, valid or not, obsessions, depression or life stress begin to overwhelm these strategies, it is often a time to seek professional help.

You've probably always wanted to be able to feel calm in the midst of difficult situations, maybe for your whole life. But for many of us, this doesn't come naturally. The reality is, for those people you look up to in your life who are able to have strong relationships, feel calm under pressure, it doesn't come naturally for them either. They learned an important skill called emotional regulation that guides them through difficult times. It's what helps them make clear decisions, express themselves vulnerably, manage their time and money well, and share deep moments of connection.

I provide therapy for adolescents and adults seeking help with issues including parenting, divorce, stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, communication, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, grief, life-changing events, and others. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can identify and explore the underlying beliefs driving your behaviors, shaping your habits, and impacting your relationships. Working together using therapeutic approaches such as mindfulness, CBT, narrative therapy, DBT, etc., you will learn to better manage emotions and behaviors, allowing you to meet your own personal goals.

A native to Los Angeles I get it; the constant hustle, traffic, the grind of working to pay for life not psychotherapy. I know you’ve got valid reasons for why this isn’t the best time to get help but I’m calling your bluff. This is the “right time” because there will never be a right time to get well. This is your moment and because psychotherapy can feel daunting and expensive Im finding that Life Coaching is a wonderful medium that works to address issues in the moment. S
