The OCD Center Los Angeles is a private, outpatient clinic specializing in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and related anxiety-based conditions. Among the disorders we treat are: OCD, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Phobias, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (body image anxiety), Hypochondria (health anxiety), Trichotillomania (hair pulling), and Dermatillomania (skin picking). Unfortunately, traditional talk therapy has little impact on these conditions. Conversely, research has consistently found CBT to be the most effective treatment for these disorders. While treatment may last years with traditional therapy, most clients make dramatic improvement with CBT in just 4-6 months.

If you relate to these questions, perhaps you are looking for a therapist to help you break free from the vicious cycle of anxiety and self-judgment. Maybe you are looking for someone who will support your work to build a true sense of self and a foundation you use to trust yourself.

I have over 20 years of experience providing therapy and assessment services to children and adolescents. I firmly believe in the importance of working closely with both parent and child in order to achieve success.

Feeling stuck? overwhelmed? unhappy? stressed? Need a "tune up"? Are you starting a new relationship, job, in a long-term relationship, raising kids, trying to get healthy physically, emotionally, or socially? These things are supposed to make us happy and give us fulfillment, right? We expect we will handle these changes with ease. These transitions can be hard. Some are comfortable with change and don't miss a beat when there is a shift in our lives, however, many of us find ourselves confused, frustrated, stressed, anxious or depressed. I can help you sort out the changes in your life.

My goal as a licensed psychologist is to help individuals, couples, families, and groups find harmony between what they "think," how they "feel," and what they "do" as they work through multiple life challenges and demands. Since its beginning, the vision of my practice has focused on providing culturally-sensitive mental health services to diverse populations exhibiting a full range of difficulties and psychological disorders. This vision is launched from a cognitive-behavioral framework. My practice reflects the insight offered by Albert Einstein: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Hence, for change to happen, "thinking matters."
