Narrative of Services:

My practice provides evidence-based treatment for a variety of mental health concerns, including OCD and related disorders. While OCD and OCD-related disorders are not currently a significant portion of my caseload, I have treated over 15 individuals with these conditions during the past four years. My training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) enables me to provide effective, tailored interventions for clients with OCD, hoarding disorder, and other related challenges. I look forward to expanding this area of my practice and supporting more individuals seeking specialized care for OCD and related disorders

Training Description:

I have been treating OCD and related disorders for four years, building on extensive specialized training. I completed a 4-day intensive ERP & OCD Training at the Cognitive Behavior Institute: Center for Education. Additional training includes ‘Buried in Treasures: The Nature and Treatment of Hoarding Disorder,’ training in panic disorder, treating OCD and anxiety during the pandemic, ‘ERP Across Diagnoses’ with Dr. David Tolin, and co-occurring OCD and ASD. I also completed hoarding disorder training with Rogers Behavioral Health. Through the IOCDF, I have attended annual conferences, including the Hoarding Disorder Conference, multiple times.
