Please describe your professional experience (this will be used on Therapist Finder)
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD, including Pure O -- a form of OCD characterized by intrusive thoughts and compulsive rumination. I treat these issues using ERP, which is considered the gold standard treatment. I also treat other forms of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive related disorders, including some disordered eating. While my approach is cognitive-behavioral, I bring my background in psychodynamic psychotherapy to every case. This means paying attention to the emotional and relational dynamics that underlie the symptoms, which are often informed by early family dynamics.
My goal is to help the individual address both their symptoms and the underlying reasons for these symptoms, to help them feel more fulfilled in all areas of their life and to move towards goals that are meaningful to them.
I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I enjoy working with people of all ages from diverse cultural backgrounds.
