Narrative of Services:

Approximately 90% of the clients I see at my practice have OCD and/or a related disorder, the remaining clients present with concerns such as PTSD, mood disorder and life transitions. I have treated over 100 individuals with OCD and related conditions including contamination, harm, relationship, just right, existential and more subtypes.

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:

I am trained in utilizing CBT, DBT, ACT and MI, for the above diagnoses. I prioritize the most impairing symptoms first to aid in getting client closer to baseline. Focus is on skill building, emotion regulation, providing them with psychoeducation to better understand cognitive patterns and behaviors.

Training Description:

I have been treating OCD for approximately 6 years. I have taken various trainings on ERP, I-CBT, ACT, CBT and DBT over the course of my post graduate years. I also seek individual consultation and supervision when needed from other individuals in the field who solely treat/diagnose OCD and related disorders, to ensure I’m providing the best evidence based treatment and continued professional development.
