Licensed to practice in 3 states and accepts 25 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD), Phobias and 3 more.
I am a licensed professional clinical counselor with over 10 years of experience specializing in treating anxiety related disorders such as , Generalized Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Hoarding Disorder. I also work with people experiencing life transitions, grief issues, and women's issues. I have a masters degree in clinical psychology from Azusa Pacific University and enjoy helping clients reach their life goals.
In our first session, we will spend time building rapport and getting to know each other. There will also be an intake and assessment process that might feel like a million questions but is just there to help us create a good treatment plan. You should be able to leave the session feeling seen, heard, and understood.
If you are tired of waking up every day feeling anxious and tired or if you are ready for change in the new year and meeting your next life goal, then therapy is for you. If you would like to learn grounding techniques, ways to reduce anxious worries, and to create a toolbox of tools for mental wellness, then let's talk. I believe in focusing on a client's strengths as well as their needs and goals. We can put together a treatment plan that will work for you using evidenced based treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, (ERP) and hoarding reduction tools such as the 4-box method.
I work with clients who are motivated for change. I am well positioned to serve clients undergoing life transitions as well as working to serve clients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Hoarding Disorder, Phobias, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Therapy should feel like a safe place to set and reach goals that reflect the values of the client. The evidence based modalities that I use also make room for a humanistic approach.

CBT is an evidenced based modality that helps clients work on how changing core thoughts can change feelings and behaviors which leads to a more healthy and robust life. It is commonly used to treat things such as generalized anxiety.
This is the gold standard for treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It is an evidence based treatment that involves creating an exposure hierarchy and working from easy to difficult exposures over a period of time. Symptoms do not totally disappear but become manageable and clients are able to get their lives back.
