Elevated Solutions Therapy provides outpatient treatment for children, adolescents, and adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), including clients with co-occurring eating disorders, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma-related symptoms. About 90% of my caseload is OCD and related disorders. We offer individual exposure and response prevention (ERP), family sessions, and parent coaching to help caregivers respond to reassurance seeking and reduce family accommodation. Clients who need more frequent support may receive multiple sessions per week through our accelerated outpatient program. We offer telehealth in New York and Florida and in-person services in New York City.

I work with clients who have OCD alongside co-occurring eating disorders, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, and substance use disorders. Care begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine which condition to prioritize. ERP remains the core of OCD care and is integrated with CBT, FBT, trauma-focused work, and DBT skills as needed. Clients are seen weekly or through an accelerated outpatient track with multiple sessions per week for higher-acuity needs. I coordinate closely with psychiatrists, dietitians, and other providers, and support step-up and step-down transitions with higher levels of care.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida and the founder and clinical director of Elevated Solutions Therapy. I am trained in exposure and response prevention (ERP) and use it to treat OCD, including when it co-occurs with eating disorders or trauma-related symptoms. My clinical work includes developing exposure plans, identifying mental rituals and reassurance seeking, and helping families reduce accommodation. I also supervise clinicians in OCD assessment, exposure planning, and response prevention.

My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I ask clients how their cultural background, identity, beliefs, and family expectations shape how they understand their symptoms and what they want from treatment. In OCD care, I work with clients to understand the role of religious, cultural, or family practices and identify where OCD adds distress or rigidity. We use that understanding to choose exposures that address compulsions while respecting the client’s values.
