MARIN​ CENTER FOR ANXIETY AND BEHAVIORAL THERAPY

My Approach

 

I am a licensed psychologist (PSY #29453) whose professional mission is to provide evidence-based treatments to children, adolescents, young adults, and families of diverse cultures and backgrounds. I conceptualize cases taking into account genetic and biological factors, personality and mood factors, and social factors related to culture and family. I formulate treatment plans using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as my core orientation. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and goal-oriented, with the aim of helping individuals and families learn strategies to lead a meaningful and enriching life.

 

Education, Training, & Experience

​

I have received extensive training in evidence-based treatments for a range of disorders across the lifespan, with a passion for treating children, adolescents, young adult, and families. I have specialized training in CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention, Behavioral Parent Training, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), as well as a range of other evidence-based interventions. I am an active member of the academic community, with a particular interest in learning cutting-edge research and disseminating psychological advances via teaching and supervision.
