Narrative of Services:

I have primarily focused on treating anxiety disorders and OC and Related Disorders for 13 years, though I have been a licensed mental health counselor for 21 years. My entire practice is centered around treating individuals with OC and Related Disorders and/or have a co-occurring anxiety disorder. All individuals are welcome.

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:

Using Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), I treat the following:

Specific Phobia
Social Anxiety Disorder
Panic Disorder
Agoraphobia
Generalized Anxiety Disorder

I utilize Behavioral Activation for the treatment of depression.

Training Description:

In 2011, I attended the first of three separate trainings for the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD. The third training focused on Habit Reversal Training all of which were completed at the University of Pennsylvania. Upon return, I received supervision from the Evidence Based Treatment Centers of Seattle and continue to do so on an as needed basis. I frequently read and attend trainings so as to stay up to date on evidence-based treatments for anxiety and OC and Related Disorders.
