I have engaged in the treatment of OCD, BDD, BFRBs tic disorders, and panic disorder since 1982. My practice is dedicated exclusively to the treatment of these issues. I have treated over 2,000 individuals with OCD and related disorders. My main approaches are Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Comprehensive Behavioral Therapy (for BFRBs). I also have experience in working with autistic persons.

I have taught and supervised at numerous BTTI events since their inception, supervised doctoral students, and presented at 29 IOCDF conferences. I have written self-help books on OCD and BFRBs. I have also lectured nationally and internationally on OCD and related disorders.
