Areas of Practice & Specialized Programs
My practice balances evidence-based therapy for anxiety with advanced, specialized programs designed to address specific life and relational challenges.
✦ Core Specialty: Anxiety & CBT
Anxiety can feel overwhelming, but it is highly treatable. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders in both children and adults using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—the gold standard of evidence-based psychological treatment. Together, we will identify anxious thought patterns, build concrete coping strategies, and safely face fears so you or your child can reclaim a sense of calm and confidence.
If you or your child are struggling with generalized anxiety, panic, phobias, or OCD, let’s connect to see how CBT can help.
⚙︎ Evidence-Based Programs
In addition to traditional therapy, I offer several internationally recognized modalities to help families and individuals overcome distinct hurdles.
SPACE Treatment (For Parents of Anxious Kids)
Through the Yale-developed SPACE program, I work directly with you—the parents—to shift family accommodations and support your child toward lasting independence.
UCLA PEERS® (Social Skills for Teens)
As a certified provider of the PEERS® curriculum, I offer structured environments where teens learn real-world social skills while parents learn to act as social coaches.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART for Trauma)
If you are an adult or teen feeling stuck in the painful aftermath of trauma, heavy stress, or difficult life events, ART is a gentle, innovative approach.
🗣 Culturally Sensitive Bilingual Care
Terapia en Español
As a bilingual psychologist fluent in English and Spanish, I firmly believe that the deepest emotional healing happens when you can express yourself in the language closest to your heart. I offer fully bilingual mental health care that honors the unique values and experiences of Latino individuals and families.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward greater well-being, I warmly invite you to reach out. Together, we’ll walk this path, and I’ll offer the encouragement, expertise, and professional guidance you deserve.
