90% of the patients I see have OCD or other anxiety disorder.
I have treated approximately 80 patients with OCD/OC-related disorder and about ~50 with other anxiety disorders (e.g., social anxiety, agoraphobia).

Although originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, my education and research experiences have taken me across the USA (Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Georgia) and world (Panama, Peru, Spain, Kenya, Mexico, Slovakia, Israel). I understand first-hand the importance of intergenerational healing and am invested in empowering individuals to overcome fears and cultivate their own innate bravery. I apply ERP and exposure-based principles in a way that center’s individuality and lived experiences. Aside from my clinical work, I am committed to clinical research that focuses on improving mental health treatment using strength-based and values-based approaches that consider diversity, cultural, and individual factors.
I am committed to providing equitable and accessible mental health treatment from a strength-based lens. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is a thread that links all of my work- as a scholar, clinical researcher, and psychologist. In my work, I have primarily focused on equity and accessibility issues (tolerability to exposure therapy) and received dedicated training in areas of diversity, like race, ethnicity, national identity/immigration, gender, sexual identity, and military status.
Monthly group for people with OCD and anxiety disorders who are actively engaged in ERP/exposure-focused CBT or have already completed exposure-focused treatment and want to maintain their gains long-term. All stages of recovery are welcome (new to OCD diagnosis, active in ERP, maintenance/early recovery, etc.)
Both in-person and telehealth options are available.
Cost is $75 for 90 minutes of group therapy.
