Narrative of Services:

individual psychotherapy, ERP, and referrals to other OCD specialists including group therapists. Approximately 70% of my practice is for OCD. I am also broadly trained and can effectively address many other diagnoses and concerns.

Training Description:

I have been practicing as a psychologist for over 15 years, including post-doctoral training in psychosocial rehabilitation through the Veterans Affairs health care system, and 9 years serving as a psychologist at UCLA. I was a primary therapist and clinical supervisor at the UCLA OCD Intensive Outpatient Program from 2020-2024. I have attended a wide range of trainings and conferences on OCD and related disorders over the years, including most recently the 2023 IOCDF conference in Denver.

Treatment Groups:

OCD Group therapy for adults (18+), meeting weekly in person in Santa Monica on Wednesday evenings, 6:00-7:15pm. This is a space to learn new ERP skills and also increase your sense of connection with others. Combat the isolation of OCD by joining us and giving/receiving support.
