Narrative of Services:
I specialize in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders, OCPD, and anxiety disorders. In my 10+ years of experience, I have successfully treated multiple clients struggling with a wide range of OCD presentations, including relationship OCD, pedophilia OCD, moral scrupulosity, and perfectionism. I use a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and exposure and response prevention (ERP), and am known for my warm and direct approach with clients.
Training Description:
I have completed dozens of hours of post-graduate training in the treatment of OCD and related disorders, including through McLean Hospital and, most recently, IOCDF’s 5-day Behavioral Therapy Training Program. I also have advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which research shows is an effective form of OCD treatment when combined with ERP.
