You might be feeling like you're stuck in a whirlwind of emotions, unsure of how to find solid ground. It’s like being caught in a storm where everything feels chaotic and out of control. I understand that this can be exhausting and discouraging, making even the smallest tasks seem insurmountable. I work with children, teens, adolescents, and adults who are grappling with profound feelings and behaviors such as depression, anxiety, OCD, or oppositional defiant issues (ODD). These clients are not only looking for a safe space to navigate their emotions and life's challenges but also are seeking to embrace personal growth and change.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in cognitive behavior therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression, and relationship problems.
If you struggle with anxiety or depression, you know how difficult it can be to cope. Anxiety is easy to recognize. We worry more, avoid difficult situations, and feel tense, awkward, or ineffective. Depression feels exhausting and hopeless. We judge ourselves and other people harshly, feel intense sadness, and become passive. It can feel like we can't do anything right or that things never go our way. Imagine being more active, skilled, and competent, communicating more effectively in relationships, being more productive at work or school, and feeling more satisfied with life.

Is your child or teen struggling with depression, OCD, ADHD, anxiety or on the autism spectrum?

I have particular interest in working with OCD and am skilled in exposure and response prevention techniques.
I have been providing treatment to adolescents and adults in the Bay Area since 2011. I view therapy as a collaborative process and feel strongly that treatment is most effective when individuals can share their feelings and thoughts openly. To that end, building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual respect is vital to a successful outcome. I use a treatment approach that is warm and welcoming and try to remain authentic and accepting in sessions.

Do you feel overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts/images or unrelenting anxiety? Are you constantly seeking reassurance or performing rituals to feel better? You may be experiencing OCD or an Anxiety disorder. These disorders operate on what we call the Vicious Cycle: 1) encounter trigger or obsessive thought/image 2) experience distress 3) engage in compulsions or safety behaviors, which leads to 4) relief. The frustrating part about this cycle is that the relief is short-lived. Before you know it, the intrusive thoughts/images and compulsions are back, taking up more time and mental resources to cope.
