Meet Sara

I work with adults treating OCD, panic, health anxiety, social phobia, chronic pain, and stress. I enjoy working with folks from all walks of life including the LGBTQI+ community. I work best with clients who are motivated to change and looking for a short-term and skills-based approach. You can expect sharp clinical precision, collaboration, deep human kindness, realness, and radical open-mindedness. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and professor at USC Keck School of Medicine. I am also a certified Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher with 15+ years of formal mindfulness training. I specialize in research-supported Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness-Based therapies.

I work best with clients who are motivated to change and looking for a short-term and skills-based approach.
