Social Worker
  • LGBTQIA+ Affirming
Narrative of Services:

I work with adults across Massachusetts struggling with OCD, including intrusive thoughts, relationship OCD, Pure O, contamination fears, and harm OCD. Using ERP and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I help clients understand their OCD, reduce compulsions, and work toward meaningful recovery. My approach is practical, structured, and collaborative.

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:

I use ERP and CBT as my primary treatment modalities to address OCD alongside co-occurring anxiety and mood disorders. I also incorporate EMDR to support clients dealing with trauma-related presentations, using a structured, evidence-based framework to guide treatment planning and client progress.

Training Description:

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working across many clinical settings. I am trained in ERP and EMDR and draw on ACT and CBT modalities to support clients with OCD and related disorders. I have worked with many OCD clients across subtypes throughout my career.

Diversity Statement:

Over the course of my career I have worked with individuals from diverse cultural, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I understand that OCD can look different across cultures and consider this in my approach with every client.
