Hello! My approach is centered in the belief that authentic connection with ourselves and others heals. Therapy is an opportunity to dive deep, to develop greater self knowledge, to come into wholeness, accepting and integrating all of our parts and aligning our lives with our Truth and the fullness of who we are. I look forward to the opportunity to support you.
I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a safe, judgment-free space.
I work with adults who want to better understand themselves, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm, collaborative, and empowering — I believe you are the expert on your own life.
As a graduate of the University of Southern California, my training emphasized both clinical excellence and authentic human connection. I integrate CBT and DBT-informed approaches to help clients develop practical skills for managing emotions, navigating relationships, setting healthy boundaries, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns.
I was drawn to this work because I’ve seen how powerful self-awareness and skill-building can be in transforming not only how we cope, but how we experience ourselves and our relationships. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a grounded, supportive space where you feel truly seen — while also gently challenged to grow in ways that build confidence, clarity, and lasting self-trust.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fremont, CA
Finding OCD therapists in Fremont starts with looking for the right training, not just a general mental health specialty. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is a therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you are looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination fears, reassurance-seeking, or related anxiety, review therapist bios for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and direct experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Fremont has a range of local therapy options, and nearby Bay Area access can expand your choices, especially if you are open to virtual appointments. Some people prefer meeting in person at a local office, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. As you compare therapists, look for more than an OCD mention on a profile. A therapist who lists ERP training, explains their approach to OCD care, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation may give you a clearer sense of fit before you book.
Therapy in Fremont can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after insurance verification, and book directly when you’re ready.
