She/Her/Hers. Update: 4/8/2026; Accepting new clients with availability in 2-3 weeks. If you're seeking acceptance, understanding, and a space to focus on you, we may be a great fit! I believe in building a strong, collaborative alliance with my clients and setting clear, meaningful goals together. With 20 years of experience treating OCD, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and related conditions, I provide evidence-based treatment tailored to your unique needs. I'm passionate about helping individuals regain control over their lives through a compassionate, goal-oriented approach.
I offer in-person and virtual sessions Monday-Thursday, providing a safe and supportive environment where clients can work through their challenges. In addition to direct client care, I also provide group and 1:1 consultation services to other therapists treating OCD, ensuring that they have the tools and guidance needed to support their clients effectively.
My commitment to the field extends beyond my practice, as I serve on the board of OCD SoCal, the local affiliate of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF). Through this volunteer role, I help to promote awareness, education, and advocacy for those affected by OCD.
