About Me

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, addictions, and interpersonal challenges. I aim to be the best therapist that I can be and am always learning.

I am grateful to have found a calling in life that I truly believe in, and I am deeply inspired by the people with whom I work.

I bring a mix of honesty, compassion and humor to what I do, and strive to be as authentic as possible. When I’m not working, my interests include reading and writing, hot yoga and other fitness, learning Spanish, and spending time with my wife and five-year old daughter.

Professional Experience

I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, and my graduate work at the Chicago School.

I have extensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and more relationally-oriented therapies.

I’ve worked in a private practice anxiety office, a community mental health clinic, the pediatric oncology unit at a hospital, and assisting chronically homeless individuals on Skid Row. I recently completed an externship in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy with Sue Johnson, and am currently participating in a two-year certificate program in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the New Center for Psychoanalysis. I’ve presented at several national conferences on issues related to anxiety and OCD, and am a member of ADAA, IOCDF, ACBS, and LACPA.
