Narrative of Services:
If you’re reading this, you probably know that OCD can take on a life of its own. My clients are trying their best to keep themselves and their loved ones safe, yet OCD can become incredibly time consuming and take attention away from the very activities and people that matter most. Having a specialist to help you untangle yourself from obsessive thoughts and compulsions can be essential. With ERP treatment, my clients are increasingly able to feel a sense of safety in their lives and join the moment instead of needing to control it.
Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:
In addition to ERP, I provide a specialty therapy called RO-DBT for people with a high degree of self-control – people that tend to be perfectionistic, introverted, and internalizing.
Training Description:
I’ve received training from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard’s Sabine Wilhelm, PhD, and I’ve completed IOCDF’s BTTI training program. I’ve been using ERP for the past three years, and treating perfectionism more broadly for the past six years.
Diversity Statement:
I’m enthusiastic about supporting clients in the queer community, and I bring experience with working with veterans through the VA.
