About

I specialize in delivering evidence-based, or science backed, therapy to children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and emotion regulation. I also work with parents to help them understand and support their child’s emotions and behaviors. I've worked with clients from a range of diverse backgrounds and believe that each person is the expert on their own experience, so I tailor every treatment plan to meet the specific needs of each client. My favorite part of therapy is empowering the clients I work with to recognize their unique strengths and build the lives they would most like to lead. View 6 Photos I have experience working in a range of treatment settings, including at the UCLA Semel Institute. I tailor each treatment plan from several evidence-based approaches, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also offer full model, or comprehensive, DBT.
