I have extensive experience working with teens and adults who suffer from anxiety disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD), Autism Spectrum Disorders, and various other psychological conditions and behavioral concerns. Cognitive Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention are evidence-based practices that have proven highly effective for treating anxiety and OCD. Cognitive Therapy is a structured and direct form of psychological treatment, with each plan individually tailored to provide the best outcomes and support.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor at OC Anxiety Center, specializing in anxiety and related disorders, OCD, and Trichotillomania/Excoriation. My expertise includes evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention, Habit Reversal and Stimulus Control, and Behavioral Activation.
I have always been passionate about helping individuals who struggle with anxiety and related disorders. I believe in the importance of progress and data, utilizing proven strategies to make a significant difference in treatment. For more information, please visit our website and contact us.
