Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based out of California. I am an anxiety and OCD specialist with over 15 years of experience working in the field of mental and behavioral health. I offer a structured approach to help you build resilience, reduce anxiety, and regain control over your life. Whether you're struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or overwhelming worry, I am here to support you with compassion, understanding, and evidenced-based practices that foster lasting change.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we’ll begin with a brief introduction before exploring the challenges you’re facing. I’ll guide you through a diagnostic interview to better understand your experiences and what brought you to therapy. This will help us create a personalized plan to support you in our work together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked in the field of mental health for over 15 years, I feel that my diverse experiences allow me to work comfortably with people from all types of backgrounds. Prior to my training as an anxiety and OCD specialist, I spent many years working with veterans, homeless persons, inpatient psychiatric facilities, and hospital administration. While experience is helpful, I do feel that my greatest strengths are in providing a safe, judgement-free, and empathetic space for people to feel heard and understood.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I excel at working with adults who struggle with anxiety, uncertainty, doubt, and other uncomfortable feelings. My clients are motivated to identify and confront what maintains their issues. Through exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), CBT, and mindfulness, we will work together to build resilience, reduce anxiety, and regain control of your life.
