I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who received my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I am the founder of the Center for OCD, Anxiety, and Eating Disorders, and am licensed in California and New York. I see clients out of my NYC office, as well as via teletherapy. 

I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and Eating Disorders utilizing evidence-based treatments. My clinical work focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure & Response Prevention, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness skills training for adults, adolescents, and children.

Prior to founding the Center for OCD, Anxiety and Eating Disorders, I worked as a psychotherapist at The OCD Center of Los Angeles specializing in the treatment of OCD, BRFB’s, and related disorders across the life span. I also trained extensively in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with an emphasis on Exposure & Response Prevention, at the UCLA Adult OCD Intensive Outpatient Program, where I assisted in providing hands-on ERP with clients experiencing moderate to severe OCD. 

My passion for OCD treatment, education, and advocacy comes from my own personal experience with the disorder. I understand firsthand the relentlessness of OCD and how painfully it holds one’s life captive.  I also understand, from the inside out, that relief and recovery are real with a large dose of evidence-based treatment and an equally large dose of willingness.
