Narrative of Services:

I work with individuals with OCD starting as young as 7 years old through adulthood using ERP. I have additional training in ACT, which I often incorporate into work with clients with OCD and anxiety. I am also trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) as a parent-only approach for parents wanting to focus on how to best support their children with anxiety and/or OCD. In my work with children, I often incorporate these concepts and parent work alongside individual ERP work with children.

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:

I have training and experience in treating other presenting concerns, such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders and trauma-related symptoms, including PTSD.

Training Description:

My training in OCD started about 10 years ago with an initial focus on treatment of OCD in children and teens while working at a non-profit child guidance center. Over time I have built my training and experience working with OCD and related disorders with all ages through an ERP and ACT framework, which include completing the BTTI training and consultation calls through the IOCDF and training through PRAXIS.
