Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in San Francisco, CA
This is even true for people who are suffering from more debilitating problems such as Bipolar Disorder, OCD,or Schizoaffective Disorders.
I enjoy and have great success working with couples (gay, lesbian, straight, intermarried, blended families.) Much stress at work and home is due to difficult relationship challenges. Therapy is particularly helpful with problems at work and in tranistional times (engagement, marriage,childbirth, empty nest, divorce, illness, and job loss)

When working with anxiety and/or OCD, I utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Mastery Approach.
Navigating relationships can be tricky, to say the least. I believe the most important element of any relationship is communication. Breakdowns in communication are common and may go undetected for months, or even years. Becoming aware of how we communicate and adjusting appropriately can make all the difference in our interactions moving forward. In my work with couples, I primarily use Imago Relationship Therapy to help repair relational ruptures, rebuild trust, and develop effective ways of communicating that soon become second nature. I also incorporate elements of other approaches to create a treatment plan that works for you.

My primary expertise is in mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, dual diagnosis, LGBTQ+ and transgender healthcare.
In essence, my approach is relaxed and conversational. Therapy is a conversation, not a "treatment." I believe my clients see me as an equal partner in the conversation, while expecting me to know a few things, beyond the ordinary, which may be helpful.

I treat anxiety and depression through examining deep-rooted inner conflicts/shame/guilt/childhood trauma and unconscious cognitive distortions while reshaping repetitive/ obsessive coping mechanisms that manifest in perpetuating self esteem, career, and relationship difficulties.
I work with unique individuals who are seemingly successful and happy but deep inside feel lost, alone, even if they are in a relationship, and often feel like they don't belong or struggle to be present in life. With expertise gathered from years of experience across borders, time zones and cultures, I dive alongside men and women into the deep ocean of darkness— including all types of diversity, in-between/intersecting identities, worldwide travelers, high-achieving/performing and creative people. I am Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) certified and was formerly a clinical supervisor and psychologist at Johns Hopkins University.

These treatment approachs are well suited for those looking to change their relationship with anxiety/fear, panic, trauma, depression, grief, phobia, OCD, physical health conditions, and general well being.
I’m passionate about facilitating therapeutic work with children, teens, and individual adults interested in moving inward toward transformation. My style of psychotherapy is to create therapeutic experiences where my client is heard, seen, and understood using the power of witnessing presence and traditional talk therapy. My style is client centered and non-directive, meaning therapy is an experience without advice giving, interpretation, explanation, or providing solutions to problems.

My areas of focus: neurodivergence (ADHD, OCD, OCPD), queer and trans strength, parenthood (women's health) and relationships.
Welcome, I am glad you are here. Are you exhausted or saddened by how you think and feel about yourself, your life and relationships? Often times we can be very aware of what is “wrong” or, at least, have a very strong feeling that something just doesn’t feel right in our lives but we are at a loss on how to change that - what to do about it. We can find ourselves grinning and bearing it or silently white knuckling our day to day. Therapy offers space and time to engage with these thoughts and beliefs from a different angle - with a new perspective.

I have specialized training and experience in treating anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and complex trauma symptoms.
If you’re here, I imagine you may have found yourself exhausted, stuck, and suffering despite your best efforts. Maybe you're so chronically overwhelmed from trying to balance the demands of life that you find yourself unable to enjoy any moments of rest or recharge. Or you feel that despite how far you've come in achieving your goals you're never doing enough, and you're losing sight of why those goals matter in the first place. Maybe you silently struggle with a deep-seated fear that you're one misstep away from proving yourself an imposter and losing all that you've worked towards. Do you worry you'll never stop feeling this way?

I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety disorders using evidence-based treatments (specifically ERP, CBT, DBT, and ACT - if you don't know these acronyms yet, that's okay!)
Hi, I’m Kayla. Are fear and anxiety holding you back from living your life? I’m confident I can help! Anxiety presents in many ways: you might notice intrusive thoughts or doubts leading to a constant need for reassurance. You might be weighed down by life’s “what ifs.” You may sometimes feel like you’re trapped in your mind, spiraling through worst case scenarios. Anxiety can make day-to-day life very challenging. But you can conquer it, and I’m excited to show you how.
