About Me

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I am here to help YOU live a better and happier life—through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). 

​

CBT is the first-line treatment for mood related problems like depression and anxiety. It is also the best treatment available for behavioral patterns like procrastination, or perfectionism. I chose evidence based treatment as a main treatment modality because I love seeing my clients getting better, and I love it even more when the recovery process is rather rapid.
​
As a CBT therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients. As a first step, I'd like for us to get clear on your goal for treatment. May they be managing anxiety, getting-rid-of self-defeating thoughts, overcoming depression, or learning to manage challenging relationships. What are your goals? What would you like help with? Having goals, can guide our work, and meeting your goals can mean that it is time to end treatment.

​​

My educational background includes a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and a Master of Arts in Psychology, from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Palo Alto, CA. (currently known as Sofia University). Along with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Buddhist Psychology from Naropa University, Boulder, CO.

I did my specialization in pediatric and adults ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) with IOCDF (the International OCD Foundation) and CTSA (the Center for the Treatment and Study on Anxiety, at Penn Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania).
