Introduction

Dealing with anxiety and OCD is exhausting and robs you from the enjoyment of everyday life. Are you ready to take the reins back from anxiety or OCD, and get back in the driver's seat of your own life? If so, I'd love to help you navigate this wild and amazing ride. I'm a bilingual psychologist specializing in the treatment of anxiety and OCD. I offer compassionate and evidence-based treatment to adults and children. In traditional “talk therapy” you might imagine yourself venting as someone listens and nods, and occasionally advises you on how to deal with your problems. But my approach is different. ​ I offer an active, warm, and results-oriented approach that will empower you to face the obstacles in your life with compassion, courage, and determination.​ Through our work in therapy, you'll gradually develop confidence and trust in your ability to cope with the uncertainty and problems that life will throw your way. You can find more information about my therapy services at www.wellnessinbroward.com I also love to empower parents with evidence-based tools to help their children effectively cope with anxiety and OCD. I firmly believe that when kids struggle with anxiety, it becomes a family affair, and parents are the key to success. I provide online coaching groups to parents of children who struggle with anxiety. You can find more information about my parent coaching services at www.wisemamabears.com
