Narrative of Services:
I am a dual-specialized clinician treating anxiety and trauma. I have completed the IOCDF’s BTTI Training to treat OCD as well as UPenn’s CTSA for ERP. I am trained and supervised in iCBT as well as ACT for OCD. In addition to OCD, I treat other forms of anxiety including Phobias, Panic, BFRBs, and Social Anxiety. As a trauma-informed clinician trained in EMDR/PE certified and CPT trained, I love to help clients whose past makes recovering from anxiety even more difficult. Clients with OCD, trauma or another anxiety disorder make up about 75% of my caseload..
