Narrative of Services:

My practice, Clearview OCD Counseling, is dedicated to providing evidence-based treatment for OCD, anxiety, and related disorders. In addition to office visits, we offer community-based sessions and teletherapy (video sessions) to more effectively treat OCD, phobias, and social anxiety. I pride myself on using a collaborative approach with other treatment providers and don’t hesitate to utilize the expertise of adjunctive therapeutic specialists in a client’s treatment. My style is warm, personable, instructive, and flexible. The clinicians who work for my practice are similarly dedicated and have been directly trained by me in using a fluid combination of ERP and ACT.

Treatment of co-occurring disorders: *Trauma/PTSD using Prolonged Exposure (PE)
*Depression/dysthymia using Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
*Insomnia and sleep disorders using a variety of techniques including CBT-I
*Substance/alcohol use disorders and other addictions using SMART Recovery, Harm Reduction, and abstinence-based programs including 12-steps

Facilities accessible by clients of all mobility levels: Yes

I received my Masters Degree from Lesley University and interned at McLean Hospital. I have 20 years of practical experience in treating OCD, anxiety, and related disorders in a variety of formats, and often give public lectures on topics related to OCD, including sitting on expert panels for the IOCDF and the Annual Seacoast Anxiety and OCD Symposium.
