About My Clients

I work best with women who are so sick of their OCD that they’re ready to make working on it a priority. OCD can make you feel miserable, stuck on a loop of worry, rumination, and repetitive thoughts. You may spend hours doing unproductive things to manage your anxiety, like overthinking, searching the internet, planning, replaying events, or cleaning. You may have unwanted thoughts that are scary, repulsive, or hard to talk about. If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

My Background and Approach

I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of Louisville in 2011 and then went on for two additional years of training at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School for my internship and postdoctoral fellowship. While at McLean I trained at the OCD Institute, a nationally recognized program for treating OCD. Following my postdoc, I worked for almost a decade in a psychology department as an assistant and then a tenured associate professor. My roles were primarily to provide training to doctoral students in the clinical psychology program and to supervise doctoral dissertations and masters thesis projects. I taught graduate level classes and also provided individual and group supervision to over 25 doctoral level students in providing effective Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure and Ritual Prevention (ERP) therapy for anxiety and OCD. Clinically, I have over fifteen years of experience with anxiety, worry, and OCD.
