About
“Why am I having these thoughts?…This does not feel right… I’m scared…I have to do these compulsions to feel better…If people really knew the thoughts I have, no one would want to be around me anymore…”. These are all thoughts patients have expressed to me throughout the years. I am a clinical psychologist with extensive training and experience working with OCD, family dynamics, and familial accommodation. I specialize in evidenced-based treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders utilizing Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have experience treating children, adolescents, and adults with severe OCD in inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs. Individuals with OCD & anxiety often suffer silently for years. Common barriers include difficulty disclosing the nature of symptoms, misdiagnosis or never being diagnosed. I aim to empower people to live a life aligned with their values by helping them face their fears. In my private practice, I offer telehealth and in-person sessions. I often suggest meeting with patients in the community for exposures to provide additional support in real life environments.
