Narrative of Services:
Our clinical practice specializes in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD, anxiety disorders, as well as OC-Related Disorders. Our practice serves both children and adults. My current clinical treatment focus is OCD, BDD, and anxiety disorders. Approximately 75% of my clients have primary presenting OCD.
Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:
I treat a variety of co-occurring anxiety disorders, including Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety, Phobias, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. In addition, I have experience treating Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizoaffective Disorder. I provide individual counseling and family/relational counseling, as appropriate and necessary for effective individual treatment. I prioritize the use of evidence-based treatments combined with an individualized, strengths-based, and compassion-focused approach to care.
Training Description:
I have been a therapist for over 10 years and have worked in the field for over 20 years. I’ve treated OCD over the past eight years, but shifted to treating anxiety and OCD more exclusively in 2021 after starting a group practice focused on providing evidence-based treatments. I have attended various trainings focused on best practices in evidence-based treatments for OCD, anxiety, and completed the Intensive Exposure/Response Prevention (ERP) Workshop offered by the Cognitive Behavioral Institute (CBI). I continue to receive ongoing ERP/OCD training and consultation through IOCDF sponsored events and consultants.
