About

Are you struggling with intrusive thoughts, chronic distress anchored to "what if..." scenarios, or crippled by daily uncertainty? Do you find yourself engaging in time-consuming rituals, mental compulsions, reassurance-seeking, or avoidance behaviors in order to ward off feared consequences or make things 'just right'? You may be experiencing symptoms of OCD and might greatly benefit from exposure and response prevention (ERP) techniques aimed at conquering the obsessive-compulsive cycle that is keeping you from living your life flexibly and joyfully!

I received my training at Harvard Medical School / Massachusetts General Hospital and specialize in the assessment and treatment of obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. These disorders include OCD, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as skin-picking (excoriation) and hair-pulling (trichotillomania).

If you are struggling with any of these disorders, you are not alone. There are well-researched and effective treatment techniques that can greatly reduce and even resolve the impact of these symptoms on your life. My style is very collaborative and I view therapy as teamwork. Please reach out if you are ready to tackle your symptoms!
