As a clinical psychologist extensively trained in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital’s Institute (OCDI), I specialize in helping adults break free from overwhelming cycles of anxiety, avoidance, and compulsions.
From our very first sessions, we will thoroughly map out your specific challenges and build a individualized, actionable roadmap using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), CBT, and ACT. By utilizing secure teletherapy, we can do live, real-world exposures directly where your triggers occur—leading to a significant reduction in symptoms and lasting improvements in your daily well-being.
I am deeply passionate about providing culturally responsive, affirmative care. I strive to build a collaborative, secure space that honors individuals from all diverse sociocultural identities and backgrounds.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
Approach Description: I integrate various treatment techniques, with a primary focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches. My interventions are delivered from a person-centered perspective that emphasizes the therapeutic relationship.
