Introduction

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in treatment for child anxiety. I have extensive experience working with youth experiencing anxiety, fears, school avoidance, OCD, as well as depression and trauma. I offer compassionate care to support children in facing their fears. I also help parents and caregivers support their child in their journey to overcome anxiety and thrive. Licensed in both California and Illinois, telehealth services are available to residents of both states. In-person services are available in the Temecula Valley. As an expert in child mental health, I draw on the most advanced and high-quality therapy approaches. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver, which specializes in child clinical training. I then completed my internship and postdoctoral training at UCLA. I have been on faculty at Loyola University Chicago, published widely in the field of child psychology, and worked as a psychologist and supervisor at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego. I offer expert and caring support for youth and families. With over 15 years of experience in child mental health, I draw on my clinical and academic expertise to bring the best quality, evidence-based care to youth and families. I personalize those treatments for each individual child and family to ensure we work together to find the best approach for you. Read more about my practice at www.bravemindspsychologycenter.com.
