  • I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle. I work with LGBTQ community and with all kind of diversity. At Eye Of The Storm counseling I specialize with Adolescents, Adults, Relationships, Individuation, Immigration, Life Changes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Sexual Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Life Style issues, and Court referrals.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Los Angeles, CA


I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. I also hold a degree in Mind-Body Psychology and am trained in clinical hypnotherapy. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working in digital marketing, which gives me unique insight into the stressors of fast-paced careers, identity development, and the challenge of balancing ambition with well-being.

I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients, including women navigating heartbreak or life transitions, professionals seeking purpose, and individuals healing from trauma, anxiety, or people-pleasing patterns. I’m passionate about helping people live with more intention and emotional freedom.

Therapy is personal, and I do my best to meet people where they are—with curiosity, compassion, and care. As someone who’s done a lot of personal healing work myself, I understand how vulnerable it can feel to ask for help. My goal is to create a space where you can be real, be seen, and make meaningful changes at your own pace.

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Los Angeles, CA

Finding OCD therapists in Los Angeles starts with looking for the right training, not just a general mental health specialty. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a leading therapy approach for OCD, and some therapists have more direct ERP experience than others. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, contamination fears, checking, reassurance seeking, or “pure O” symptoms, read therapist bios for clear mentions of OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Los Angeles has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Hollywood, Koreatown, Silver Lake, Culver City, and the Westside, which can make the search harder to narrow. Some people prefer an office near home, work, or transit; others choose virtual sessions to expand their options across California. As you compare therapists, look at appointment times, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how specifically they describe OCD care. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of focus may differ from one who describes direct ERP training or a structured approach for obsessions and compulsions.

Therapy in Los Angeles can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can search for OCD therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
