I am a psychotherapist licensed as a clinical social worker in the states of California and Florida. I received my Masters Degree in Social Work from California State University at Northridge (CSUN) in 2012. Prior to graduating, I worked as a counselor at a dual-diagnosis drug and alcohol residential treatment center in Malibu, CA specializing in psycho-education and 12-step program recovery counseling. I also worked for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) treating elementary school children suffering from grief, anxiety and social-emotional problems. Additionally, I worked with hospice patients and their families leading bereavement groups, providing supportive counseling and education on the dying process. After getting my master degree, I was hired at The OCD Center of Los Angeles and trained by the founder in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related anxiety disorders. In 2013 I received extensive training in Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRB's), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness by Karen Pickett, LMFT. I have run support groups and participated on panels at various International OCD Foundation conferences around the country.
