Anxiety prevents us all from recognizing our own strengths and natural abilities to problem solve and face life’s challenges. I want to help you or your child/teen take back control from obsessions and compulsions (OCD) and rumination so you can enjoy your relationships and daily life again. Once we identify your symptoms, we will develop a specific action plan so you can regain your sense of self and finally feel the relief you deserve.

​

When working with adults, we will modify your goals during treatment to ensure you are making progess. While working with children and teens, I simultaneously collaborate with parents so everyone in the family can learn how to tackle these concerns together. You will become your own expert on how anxiety operates.

 

I enjoy supporting young adults as they leave their childhood home and begin to practice more independence. I provide skills to navigate burnout and handle stressors that can develop in social, romantic, and workplace relationships as their personal identities grow and flourish.

I earned my master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego. In addition to my expertise in treating childhood and adolescent anxiety, I have extensive experience and training in the treatment of eating disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder, specializing in the use of exposure therapy. I have worked in private practice as well as in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs.
