Serving Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley, Northeast Los Angeles, and all of California via Telehealth
Three letters that can take over your life…
OCD can feel relentless. Obsessions bring intrusive, unwanted thoughts that create fear, doubt, or disgust. Compulsions may feel like the only way to reduce the anxiety, but they end up trapping you in a cycle that consumes your time, energy, and joy.
OCD is more common than many realize, and while it can feel overwhelming, it can still be treatable.
How therapy can help…
In therapy, we focus on building insight and tools that target both obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. These may include:
Developing new ways to respond to intrusive thoughts
Reducing reliance on rituals and compulsions
Learning strategies for tolerating uncertainty and discomfort
Building resilience and flexibility in daily life
My Approach
I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients with OCD. These approaches emphasize changing how you respond to obsessive thoughts and reducing the power of compulsions, so you can reclaim time and peace of mind.
I also integrate emerging, neuroscience-informed methods that support the brain and body in breaking old patterns.
