About My Clients
On the outside, it looks like you have everything together. But you secretly struggle with intrusive thoughts and time-consuming rituals. Or maybe you can't stop thinking about food and your body. Whether you are feeling trapped by obsessive-compulsive disorder or an eating disorder, I can help. I enjoy working with both teens and adults and am licensed to provide therapy in Maryland and Virginia.
My Background and Approach
I tailor treatment to each individual, however I enjoy using DBT & ACT. When working with clients with OCD, I use Exposure and Response Prevention-the gold standard of OCD treatment. I also work from a health at every size informed approach to treatment. I have experience working in a variety of settings including outpatient therapy centers, an eating disorder treatment center, partial hospitalization programs, and an inpatient program. I hold a certificate in Dialectical Behavior Therapy through Behavioral Tech. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention for The Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder through The Center for The Treatment and Study of Anxiety at The University of Pennsylvania.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am an advocate for the health at every size and body-positive movements. One of my passions is helping people to recover from eating disorders and body image issues. I am grateful to have been able to help many people to find freedom from eating disorders and body hatred. I have successfully treated many clients with obsessive compulsive disorder using an approach that combines mindfulness, cognitive therapy, and exposure and response prevention, which is the "gold standard" for OCD treatment. It is important to note that good therapy looks at the person as a whole, not as a cluster of symptoms. Clients often comment on my warm personality and enthusiasm for the work I do. Let's work together to reach your goals.
