My approach to OCD therapy is gentle, nurturing, guiding, and redirecting. This is a safe space where you'll be challenged to face your fears. We'll collaborate to determine your treatment plan, but the overall goal is to be able to tolerate uncertainty.

Have you had a therapist before who you felt judged by or felt unheard by? I know the feeling all too well from my own experiences as a client.

Whether you feel like drawing, cursing, or engaging me in a standup act to recap your day. I welcome your expression of your authentic self.

I support professionally established women of color, especially young to mid-career creatives who are ready to stop surviving on “strength” and start prioritizing their own needs. My clients come in carrying the weight of caretaking, family expectations, and the pressure of navigating corporate spaces where they’re often misread or underestimated. Using culturally responsive, relational therapy, we reduce burnout, strengthen boundaries, untangle people-pleasing, and build a life that feels more spacious and self-led.

My empathy for people who are suffering is what initially drew me to become a therapist. Learning how to change my behavior—and wanting to teach others how to do the same—motivated me to specialize in behavior therapy. I chose to focus on OCD after being inspired by my clients' progress. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of its nuances allows us to accurately diagnose and effectively treat it. We have intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP), the gold standard for OCD treatment.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or caught in relationship patterns that keep repeating despite your insight and effort. On the outside, you’re capable and driven; inside, your nervous system feels exhausted. Life transitions, relationship challenges, parenting stress, or unresolved past experiences may be leaving you disconnected from yourself or your work. You want relief, clarity, and a more grounded, authentic way of living and relating—but aren’t sure how to get there. I love working with individuals of all ages working through the big questions of how to create a life of satisfaction, meaning, and connection.

Sexuality is an inherent part of being human, yet people are discouraged to talk about it. My goal is to normalize and embrace our sexuality, while addressing common issues that arise in relationships. Societal constraints and mixed messages from our childhood, media, and unhealthy patterns, can create discomfort, self-loathing and suffering. None of this is necessary and I am here to help you. Initiating sexual conversations, advocating for self-pleasure, and exploring your sexuality can feel vulnerable, yet exciting. Clients often appreciate my ability to navigate these conversations in a casual, comfortable, welcoming manner.

I have had the joy of working with individuals for over 20 years who find themselves struggling with problems related to work/life balance, stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues as well as questions related to life’s purpose. I have had the opportunity to work with those in the creative industry in Los Angeles to those in the high demand tech community of Silicon Valley. I have seen first hand the impact of stress, loneliness, worry and depression. My goal is to support an individual in feeling better with strategies that can be implemented outside of therapy.

I hold these basic tenets about life, relationships, and the human condition. 1) Life is filled with arbitrary hardship and loss. 2) The experiences we had as children shape our sense-of-self and impact the quality of our adult relationships. 3) Relationships are challenging because each person brings a unique set of hurts and needs into the their relationships. 4) The human psyche has a difficult time being at peace with itself. 5) Despite these truths, it is possible to be at peace with life. Through deliberate effort and nurturing guidance there is a way to experience a life embodied with dignity, love, wisdom, and equanimity.
