I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who received her Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I am licensed to practice in the states of California and New York, and specialize in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and Eating Disorders. My clinical work focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure & Response Prevention, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness skills training for adults, adolescents, and children.
Prior to my work in private practice, I worked as a psychotherapist at The OCD Center of Los Angeles specializing in the treatment of OCD, BRFB’s, BDD and anxiety disorders across the life span. I also trained extensively in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with an emphasis on Exposure & Response Prevention, at the UCLA Adult OCD Intensive Outpatient Program.
My passion for OCD treatment and advocacy comes from my own personal experience with the disorder. I understand firsthand the relentlessness of the disorder and how painfully it holds one’s life captive. I also understand that relief and recovery are real with a large dose of evidence-based treatment and an equally large dose of willingness.
