I believe that the most effective way to grow is in relationship to other people, and have faith in the potential for the therapeutic relationship to be a vehicle for deep insight and transformation. I work with adults and adolescents with anxiety disorders, who are processing trauma, who want to improve their relationships, or who simply want to explore their full potential.
In addition to standard therapy, I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard treatment for OCD. I take expert care in helping my clients understand their OCD and overcome their most debilitating fears and anxieties.
I tend to have an active and direct interpersonal style. If you prefer an inquisitive therapist who gently challenges, uses humor when appropriate, and who appreciates client feedback in strengthening the therapeutic relationship, I encourage you to reach out for a consult.

I specialize in treating mental compulsions in OCD. This subtype is sometimes called "Pure O" (purely obsessional) in the OCD community, although we now know that compulsions that happen internally function the same way that external compulsions do. Very often, I find that my clients have a combination of internal and external compulsions, some of which they might not be aware.
