Are you seeking specialized treatment approaches supported by clinical research studies? Do you want an experienced and compassionate therapist to guide you in this process? I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapies (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients with anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, insomnia, and substance use. My clients are usually highly motivated to work collaboratively and achieve specific results. I serve clients in person at my North County San Diego office, and via teletherapy throughout California.

I've been practicing for 20+ years and am a diplomate in the Academy of Cognitive Therapy and a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers. I also provide consultation and training on CBT and MI for organizations and have assisted in program development, training curriculum development, and delivery of training.

Please reach out to me to discuss if I can be a helpful resource to you. All consultations are confidential. You can complete initial intake forms and request an appointment online, or call me to discuss your case.
