I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, and Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair pulling and skin picking. OCD does not always look like handwashing and concerns about germs - sometimes it's intrusive thoughts with the desire for reassurance. OCD frequently fixates on what’s important in a person’s life and common sub-types include worries about health issues, sexuality, fear of pedophilia, harming self/others, contamination, concerns about religion/ morality, or obsessions about relationships. If this sounds like you it is important to know that therapy can help you get your life back!

I utilize Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) as a treatment approach for OCD, which is considered a "gold standard" of treatment for OCD. I have training in ERP from the IOCDF. BFRBs are treated with Habit Reversal and the Comprehensive Model for Behavior (ComB). I've completed a certification for BFRB treatment through the TLC Foundation for BFRBs.
