Clients choose me as a therapist because they want to overcome feelings of anxiety and shame, build confidence and self-compassion, feel more comfortable with themselves, and function more effectively. After working with me, clients have a toolbox of strategies to cope with urges and behaviors they want to change; understand more about themselves, their emotions, and their behaviors; are able to do things they used to avoid; and can reclaim their time and mental energy from body-focused repetitive behaviors, anxiety, and OCD.
My primary training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with an emphasis on exposure and response prevention for the treatment of panic disorder, OCD, and anxiety disorders. My clinical interests include hair pulling disorder, skin picking disorder, and other BFRBs; OCD; anxiety; and LGBTQIA+ issues. I also enjoy working with writers and other therapists.
I have been involved with the TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors for more than half my life, as a member, an ambassador, and a clinician. I know how much shame and isolation BFRBs, anxiety, and OCD-related disorders can cause. If you are struggling with one of these disorders, know that you are not alone and that effective treatment exists.
