Narrative of Services:

I provide outpatient psychotherapy telehealth services and have been treating OCD full-time for over 20 years. Over half of my practice consists of OCD clients and I have treated all forms of OCD, including unusual manifestations not typically listed in research and literature. I have run groups for OCD in the past and have worked with families and couples to help educate and provide the necessary support to help if desired.

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:

During my 20+ years of treating OCD, I have found that it is not uncommon for people to also suffer from other disorders of mood (depression, bipolar disorder, etc,…), other anxiety disorders as well as substance use disorders, eating disorders and PTSD. I am trauma informed and well versed in 12 step and recovery.

I have also spent a great deal of time exploring my own biases in professional and personal groups and ongoing trainings throughout my career.
