Are you struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), intrusive thoughts, anxiety, frequent worry, or panic attacks? I understand how overwhelming and disruptive these challenges can be. Do you avoid important activities because of these issues? Are compulsions taking over your life? OCD and anxiety may make it difficult to enjoy life, engage in relationships, pursue goals and live the life you want. Despite these difficulties, positive change is possible. In the context of a caring and supportive relationship, we can collaboratively explore and implement effective tools to combat these problems.
I'm a seasoned psychologist and have helped many people overcome OCD, anxiety and trauma. I have advanced training in CBT, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based CBT ensuring that you receive the most effective treatments for these problems. My approach is client-centered and we will work together to develop a personalized treatment plan

I draw from research supported therapies to ensure you receive the highest level of care. For OCD, I have found Exposure and Response Prevention and Inference Based CBT to be the most effective in helping patients decrease anxiety and live a fuller life. For other anxiety problems, we will use CBT and Exposure to help you decrease negative thinking and decease avoidance of importance activities.
