My style is empathetic, direct, and goal-oriented. I center my client's values and pace of change. I am warm, easy to talk to and sometimes use humor.

Therapy is individualized based on your needs, preferences, values, and goals. I use ERP treatment for OCD combined with values, meaning & purpose work. Child & teen anxiety and OCD treatment is family-centered and involves parents.

Together we will explore the background of your struggles and how anxious distress and compulsive behavior impacts your life today. We will discuss your hopes for change and create a plan to establish new patterns of relating to anxiety and stress.

I specialize in working with people who are conscientious, deep thinkers, who are often self-critical with high standards for themselves. Many of my clients are entrepreneurs & parents with concern about their child's anxiety and compulsive behavior.

I enjoy helping people climb out of the darkness.

I have in person and online availability in Ventura, California, and see clients all over the state--mainly Los Angeles and the Bay Area.

I am a good fit for people trying therapy for the first time, and for those who found insight-oriented therapy useful but fell short in facilitating concrete behavioral change. I welcome people at all life stages, including perinatal mothers.
