Narrative of Services:

It is my goal as a clinician to help clients finally feel truly hopeful in their journey with OCD. About 75% of my practice is dedicated to the treatment of OCD, using research-backed approaches. I also work with illness anxiety, general anxiety, and relationship concerns. My style of therapy includes lots of education, sprinkles of humor, and plenty of discussion of self-compassion alongside effective , OCD specific treatment options.

I also offer trainings on OCD for clinicians to gain foundational information about treating this disorder.

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:

Treatment for general anxiety, panic, and health anxiety are also offered and approached with Acceptance Commitment Therapy.

Training Description:

It is my goal as an OCD clinician to be able to offer multiple treatment options to my clients. As such, I have been trained in Acceptance-Commitment Therapy for OCD and Anxiety disorders, Inference-Based CBT for OCD, and Exposure-Response Prevention by a BTTI certified therapist. I primarily use ACT and ICBT with clients. Additionally, I have extensive background in how the family system is impacted by OCD and other relational concerns given my graduate training as a Marriage and Family therapist.

Diversity Statement:

Providing compassionate, informed care that values the unique differences of every individual is an integral aspect of my practice.

My graduate program as a whole highlighted the importance of cultural competency and humility. During my graduate practicum, I was privileged to work with those from diverse financial as well as cultural backgrounds.
