Narrative of Services:
I provide cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for OCD in the form of exposure and response prevention (ERP). Approximately 40% of my clinical time is spent treating OCD specifically.
Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:
I specialize in the integration of treatment for co-occurring anxiety disorders such as Panic, Agoraphobia, Social phobia, and Generalized anxiety disorders into treatment for OCD and related disorders. The structure of this integration is determined by client treatment goals, preferences for treatment, and the degree to which these co-occurring disorders relate and/or interfere with treatment of the primary presenting problems.
Training Description:
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Washington, where I trained in evidence-based approaches that are proven to work. My clinical internship at the Seattle Veterans Affairs hospital deepened my experience in treating a wide range of concerns, and my advanced postdoctoral work focused specifically on OCD, anxiety disorders, addictions, and mindfulness-based care. I have received complementary training through the BTTI on ERP. I also served as a Staff Psychologist in the Anxiety Center at the Evidence Based Treatment Centers of Seattle for two years before opening my private practice.
Diversity Statement:
I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds with a variety of concerns. I incorporate each individual’s unique cultural background and learning history into the evidence-based treatment plan to address OCD and other problems in living. Cultural humility is a cornerstone of my professional practice.
