I specialize in CBT for anxiety, perfectionism, obsessive compulsive disorder ( OCD) and related issues (such as body dysmorphia / BDD, skin picking / body focused repetitive behaviors, hoarding), and emotion dysregulation.
Do you find that difficult emotions lead you to avoid, procrastinate, or steer away from the things that matter most to you? As a clinical psychologist, I can offer another approach: flexibility, self-compassion, and moving towards your values even in the face of emotional distress. Together, we will identify unhelpful patterns that are not working for you and practice new ways of coping that will help you meet your goals. I use evidence-based treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, personality disorders, and perfectionism.
The experience of distressing thoughts and feelings makes it incredibly difficult to live a satisfying life and can be hugely overwhelming. Understandably, it can lead to dysfunctional behaviors that stand between where you are now and where you want to be, whether that be in your interpersonal, intrapersonal, professional, or romantic life. I want you to know that you’re not alone in this battle. The emotional and cognitive turmoil you're experiencing is valid, and there is help available that can make a significant difference.

I work with pre-teens, adolescents, and adults with concerns including procrastination and unwanted habits, low self-esteem, generalized and social anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, depression, and interpersonal difficulties.
As a clinical psychologist, I help people identify and achieve their goals, attain relief from troubling symptoms, and effectively manage life's stressors. I approach treatment from a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) lens, viewing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as entry points to making tangible improvements to your day-to-day life. I emphasize nonjudgment, respect, and accountability, aiming to create a space where you feel safe and empowered to do the work required to reach your goals. Equally important, I focus on helping you to develop systems to maintain those gains long after our work together is complete.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
