I'm a clinical psychologist, practicing in California for over 20 years. My goal is to offer you a space that is safe and empowering while bearing witness to the joys and especially the challenges we face when difficulties arise. A compassionate and collaborative approach is important to me when working with clients. Together, we can explore and identify changes you would like to make that are consistent with your values, and apply treatment strategies that can best help you realize your goals. In the journey of therapy, I wish to help you rediscover meaning in life in a way that is truly healing and honoring of you.

I am a clinical psychologist and Co-Director of the OCD & Anxiety Program of Southern California. We are a group of compassionate clinicians who understand how difficult it can be to live with OCD and anxiety disorders. We specialize in providing effective treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, OC Spectrum Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, and depression.

We also utilize other effective interventions, such as mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Are you looking to improve your mental health, relationships, and quality of life? Has addiction, depression, or anxiety taken over your life? My goal for everyone coming to me for therapy is to help create that lasting and meaningful change they seek. I provide you with ready-to-use skills to reduce overwhelming feelings, recover from past hurts and traumas, disengage from unhealthy patterns of behavior, and find freedom. Together we work to strengthen your self-awareness, self-worth, self-compassion, and acceptance thus empowering you to act on what you most value in this life.

Living with frequently intense emotions is tough and tiresome. Everyone’s story matters and every life is worth living so I strive to inspire and empower my clients, helping them gain a healthier relationship with themselves, their goals, and others. I enjoy working with adults as well as teens, and my experience revolves around helping those who struggle with overwhelmingly strong emotions and ineffective behaviors that get in the way of their goals or relationships. I teach my clients how to pause in life so that they can respond with decision and self respect rather than reacting from emotion. If you feel stuck, let me help.

I work with women struggling with relationships, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, major life transitions, and finding balance. I’m interested in getting to know the whole you — which is someone far greater than any single role in life or any single struggle or experience. Your therapy will be tailored to your individual needs, and we will work together to define what you truly want out of life. Through building a compassionate and healing space, we can take an honest look inward to help you develop an enriching life that feels more meaningful and satisfying.

I firmly believe that everyone is capable of growth, and it is my desire as a therapist to create a warm, empathic, and nonjudgemental environment where this growth can happen. We all experience challenges, and we are all deserving of the time it takes to heal. I want to partner with you and remind you that you are not alone, and help you navigate a path towards healing in a space where you feel safe, understood, and validated. It is through a strong therapeutic relationship that I work together with individuals and couples as they heal, grow, explore, and find meaning in their journey.

Everyone experiences moments of challenge and struggle at some point in their lifetime. The first step could be hard in asking for help, but take comfort in knowing a caring and supportive therapist will hold your hand through it. I provide my patients with a safe and non-judgmental space to express their thoughts and feelings. I believe that every individual has the potential to heal from past trauma and current situations to improve their quality of life and emotional wellbeing.
