The Child Mind Institute has a specialty OCD service. Approximately 90% of my current caseload have a primary diagnosis of OCD. The total number of individuals with OCD And/or an OCD related disorder I have treated is approximately 60.

I have experience treating selective mutism, social anxiety, separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder across the lifespan in individual, group and family setting. I have trained extensively in evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Parent Management Training (PMT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am a certified provider in Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I take a highly individualized approach to each client and adopt an an integrative, humanistic, person-centered, and strengths-based approach to meet the unique needs of the individual and their family, while working collaboratively with other supports in the client’s life to promote change that aligns with their values and goals.

I began working with OCD patients early in my doctoral training. I completed a specialized OCD postdoctoral fellowship, and worked closely under the supervision of an OCD specialist and master clinician for the past 5 years. My training includes individual therapy, intensive services, and family sessions.
