I have been specializing in treating OCD and anxiety related disorders for the past seven years. For over six years I was a staff therapist at the OCD Center of Los Angeles. I worked exclusively with clients with all forms of OCD and related OC spectrum disorders. Prior to specializing in OCD I specialized in treating eating disorders for over 20 years. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with an emphasis on Exposure and Response Prevention.
I treat adults, adolescents, and children. I offer Individual therapy, online therapy and an intensive out-patient treatment program.
