Director @The Gateway Institute

Costa Mesa, CA, US

The Gateway Institute specializes in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders including social anxiety, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and trichotillomania. The Gateway Institute offers multiple treatment options to support our clients including weekly sessions, support groups and a specialized 3-week OCD intensive treatment program. We stress the importance of treating the unique needs of each client, understanding that “one size does not fit all.” Clients are taught the essential strategies and tools to help them overcome their OCD and other conditions. We help guide clients to identify their own strengths during treatment and have a relapse prevention program to help sustain their gains once the program is completed.
