Therapists in California

It is my belief that anyone can benefit from psychotherapy as we all have unique concerns influencing our daily lives. Working in a safe and comfortable environment, I can work to help you know yourself better and to live your life the way you want. We will work collaboratively to explore and understand the psychological roots of emotional suffering by focusing on self-reflection and the examination and resolution of inner conflicts. I can help you to explore and modify your patterns of thinking in order to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and to improve coping with daily struggles.

I understand that everyone’s struggles are unique, which is why I take an individualized approach to the counseling process. With me as your partner in healing, you can develop the resilience you need to confidently navigate through difficult times or to reach greater levels of success.

Hello I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have worked in the field since 2011. I grew up in the San Diego area and have worked in a variety of clinical setting in my local community. I obtained my Baccalaureate Degree in Cognitive Psychology from University of California Irvine and my Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy from University of San Diego.

Balance CBT is the name of my private practice. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY27841) and an expert in the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders and related conditions. My primary focus is providing evidence-based or "known to work" treatments for anxiety-related problems. While I place very high value on research-driven treatments, I strongly believe that compassion, validation, and a powerful relationship are cornerstones to effective therapy. I am a member of the clinical faculty at UCLA and hold positions in the departments of psychiatry and psychology.

To seek the help of a therapist involves great strength. Life's experiences often challenge us. As an Adult and Adolescent Therapist, it is my experience that facing these obstacles provides an opportunity to create change in yourself. Allow me to support you in this process. As your therapist, I will take time to get to know the individual you are and help you identify internal strengths. I will actively guide you through exploring past wounds, help you reframe thoughts for a deeper understanding, and teach you concrete skills to improve your quality of life.

I passionately believe in the human capacity for growth through empathy, insight, and connection. I use a gentle but direct approach to help my clients to navigate the road to change. I will help you to examine how your life experiences, interpersonal relationships and environment connect to your thoughts, feelings and actions. I have extensive experience in mental health and substance abuse recovery, and have worked with adults and adolescents in inpatient and outpatient treatment settings. In my practice I see individuals and couples, and have a strong background in family therapy.

Welcome and cheers to you for taking a step towards getting support. I believe we're are all doing our best AND we can do better. I would love to collaborate and empower you to make meaningful changes, while also emphasizing self-compassion through the work. I am extensively trained in evidence-based treatments for OCD, Tic Disorders, Anxiety disorders (e.g., specific phobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, etc), Selective Mutism, Parent Coaching, and difficulties related to emotional and behavioral dysregulation.

I always knew I wanted to join the mental health field in order to destigmatize mental health conditions, advance social justice, and promote open and honest conversations about mental illness. My personal and professional experiences have cultivated my passion in both micro and macro work in the mental health field. I value working with adults who may be facing mental health challenges such as OCD, anxiety, and depression. I primarily use ERP and CBT treatment methods but also pull from other therapeutic modalities.

I allocate my time and practice between two specific and unique issues: one being sexually related problems, the other being OCD. With sexually related issues, they can show up as relationship problems, infidelity, arousal discrepancy, or LGBT matters. Likewise, with OCD, there are many different forms and subtypes: harm, scrupulosity, contamination, sexual, symmetry/order/balance/just right. I am trained and experienced in both fields, utilizing tools and interventions to treat one or the other, and sometimes both.

If you’re tired of fear, anxiety, and insecurity running your life, I can help you take charge! I'm uniquely equipped to help with anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), binge eating, negative body image, and perfectionism. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can be yourself. My style is active, compassionate, and encouraging. Together, we'll understand how fear and self-judgment are getting in the way of the life you want. I'll equip you with tools to change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. As a result of our work together, you'll cultivate more peace, confidence, and joy.

​I work towards supporting my clients in developing insights, overcome obstacles, and uncovering the version of themselves they seek to find. I understand that in the face of challenges, this becomes an incredibly daunting task. I offer a non-judgmental and compassionate space for clients to feel heard and understood. I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, OCD, personality disorders, relationship issues, and life transitions. I utilize DBT, CBT and ACT along with Narrative Therapy, and Family Systems approaches, incorporating behavioral techniques as needed.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist serving residents of California and Maine. Due to the barriers people often face while seeking help, my hope is to make the process a little easier by offering a secure space to participate in therapy from the privacy of your own home via Telehealth. I offer evidence-based care for people who may struggle to find help due to geographic location, impact of mental health on daily functioning, etc. Working collaboratively with each person is something I strongly prioritize throughout the treatment process, while also striving to empower people to make effective, long-lasting changes in their lives.
