About My Clients

Find hope and healing from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, (OCD) Anxiety Disorders, and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). Maybe you are stressed with the need to be perfect, follow your religion exactly, too afraid to make friends, or live with the dread of having panic attacks. Maybe you have a fear that everyone tells you not to be afraid of. Maybe you need someone that "gets" that you know it doesn't make sense but it feels so terrifying anyway. I can help.

My Background and Approach

I am expertly trained in providing Exposure and Response Prevention, the gold-standard treatment for OCD. More evidence-based modalities I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills. I employ the Comprehensive Model for Behavioral Treatment (ComB) for BFRBs Excoriation (skin-picking) and Trichotillomania (hair-pulling). I have experience treating individuals with severe OCD and Anxiety as well as more mild forms of it. I will take you as you are and create a non-judgmental space. I can help you approach your fears and stop doing behaviors that keep reinforcing them. I have a BFRB myself and have seen success in using the tools that I teach, so I can help you find relief from these behaviors as well.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in people and that they should have access to the resources they need. I believe all people are worthwhile. I enjoy spending time with my small family, hiking, rock-climbing, baking, dancing and reading (I love Harry Potter). I am a quiet, confident, contemplative individual. I'm accepting of all identities and religions. There is hope. We can figure this out together.
