About

My approach to therapy is always holistic. I view the people I work with as the multifaceted individuals they truly are, always considering unique identities and life experiences before beginning the real "work" of therapy. I encourage people with OCD to challenge themselves and understand that their compulsions keep them stuck, not safe. Outside of work, I'm an avid runner (I've lost count of how many marathons I have completed!), reader (especially horror, sci-fi, and fantasy novels), and traveler (both within California and to other regions when I can.) I also have two dogs who I love very much.

Therapy may not always "feel" good because the work is hard, but I always ensure my members know that we're on the same team. I am there every step of the way to provide warmth, encouragement, humor, and a nonjudgmental attitude.
