Online Therapy · Palo Alto, CA
Doctoral-level online therapy for OCD, anxiety, burnout, and relationships, serving Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Mountain View, and the wider Silicon Valley.
Specialist Care
The same cognitive style that makes someone a superb engineer, precise, thorough, alert to edge cases, is the style OCD exploits. Rumination feels like problem-solving. Checking feels like rigor. As a certified ERP specialist with OCD comprising about 60% of my practice, I help analytical minds tell the difference, and get their runtime back.
Checking, mental review, reassurance-seeking, and "just-right" loops that masquerade as conscientiousness. ERP is structured, measurable, and evidence-based, an approach that makes sense to technical minds.
Impostor syndrome, performance anxiety, and burnout in a valley where everyone seems to be sprinting. We build durable regulation skills, not just coping tips.
Gottman Method (Level II) and EFT for couples squeezed by startup hours, equity stress, and two demanding careers, including neurodiverse partnerships, a special focus of mine.
Licensed in California. I hold an active California LMFT license (California Board of Behavioral Sciences, LMFT #115989), so we can work together from anywhere in the state. You simply need to be physically located in California at the time of each session.
Hours that fit Palo Alto schedules. Weekday, evening, and weekend appointments are available, so therapy fits around your work and family life instead of competing with it.
Secure video, real connection. Sessions run through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Research consistently shows that video-delivered therapy, including ERP and EMDR, works as well as in-person care.
I work with clients across the Peninsula and South Bay, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton, Los Altos, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and San Jose. Sessions by secure video fit between standups and school pickups, no 101 traffic required.
Beyond my OCD specialty, I work with anxiety and panic, depression, trauma and PTSD (certified EMDR therapist), couples and relationship issues (Gottman Level II), sex therapy, burnout, and more.

Common Questions
My practice is private pay, which many clients here choose deliberately: no diagnosis is required for care, nothing is shared with an insurance network, and treatment decisions stay between us. I provide superbills you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and I accept EAP sessions through Lyra and Modern Health.
Closely. ERP is the first-line, guideline-recommended treatment for OCD, and my practice follows the exposure-hierarchy model validated in clinical trials, adapted collaboratively to your specific presentation. I am happy to discuss the literature in session; many of my clients read it.
Yes, you must be physically in California at session time. I am also licensed in Oregon, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and Virginia, which helps if your work relocates you.
