I have experiencing working with individuals with a wide range of anxiety disorders. It can range from feeling anxious before a presentation to having multiple panic attacks throughout the day. We can work together to get a clear understanding around your anxiety and ways to treat it. Often, this will involve directly confronting the anxiety provoking situation so that you can live your life without fear or worry of anxiety appearing.

Family Based Treatment is the gold standard treatment for anorexia nervosa in teens and a treatment that I provide. I have experience working with teens struggling with a variety of different eating disorders and take a Health at Every Size approach. Our goal will be to make sure you're medically stable and to normalize eating while addressing the underlying problems that led to having an eating disorder.

Exposure therapy is one of the most effective treatments for anxiety. If you're experiencing anxiety, you probably notice the urge to avoid situations that lead you to feeling anxious. This might be starting to interfere in your daily life and lead to higher levels of anxiety overall. Working with me, we'll get a good understanding of your anxiety and how it's presenting and being maintained. We'll work together to create a plan to either reduce anxiety or stop it from interfering in your life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective in treating a range of different problems such as eating disorders, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anxiety. There are many different ways that it can be geared to your specific situation and helpful for you. Together we will figure out the best treatment plan and use strategies and skills from CBT to address the problem you're facing and reach your goals.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was created to address suicidal and self-harm behaviors in adults, it has since been expanded to adolescents. I've received intense training in DBT and have run various DBT skills groups. I'm currently not providing DBT however, if you decide that you don't require comprehensive DBT but would like someone with knowledge of the skills, I'm the therapist for you.

I provide Exposure and Response Prevention for the treatment of OCD. Working together, we'll discuss the rationale for this treatment and why it's the recommended treatment for OCD. I don't asked my clients to do any exposures that I wouldn't do myself and often complete the same exposures as my clients.
