I have a warm, collaborative therapy style and bring that to every member I work with. As members with OCD learn to face their fears, I'm here to support them and help them recognize their own strength and resilience. Understanding someone as a whole person helps me to treat their OCD symptoms most effectively. Beyond OCD, I work with individuals facing postpartum depression, parenting challenges, and issues of acculturation. I’ve received specialized training in depression, anxiety disorders, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), hoarding, and eating disorders.
