I specialize in treating kids and adults with anxiety and OCD using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I also offer SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a treatment for caregivers of anxious children.

I specialize in providing evidence-based treatments to help clients reach their goals for therapy. I am BTTI-trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Pediatric OCD and my approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT; which includes ERP) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

I understand the profound impact OCD and anxiety can have on both children and their families. I enjoy guiding children, teens, and families in addressing these challenges to reduce their daily influence and foster greater engagement in fulfilling activities—free from the constraints of anxiety.

Insurance

Out of Network

I am an out-of-network provider. Clients pay me directly and I provide a superbill that clients can use to submit for reimbursement. Not all insurance companies provide reimbursement for out-of-network therapy so it's best to contact your insurance provider first to determine reimbursement benefits.

I specialize in treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention. I primarily provide brief, evidence-based treatments to help clients reduce distressing symptoms and accomplish therapy goals. The mission is to get to a place where we can wrap up treatment (successfully!) and continue participating in activities that we might otherwise prefer to be doing instead of therapy!

Most of my clients complete treatment in 12-16 sessions using CBT and ERP. In some cases, clients seek longer-term care and I have experience providing longer term skills-based work to address difficult life transitions and shifting perspective and behavior to be more in line with one's values.
