Narrative of Services:

I use exposure and response prevention (ERP) supplemented by acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for OCD-spectrum disorders. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for body dysmorphic disorder (Wilhelm, Phillips, & Steketee’s protocol). My practice is approximately 60% obsessive-compulsive and related disorders.

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:

I specialize in treating OCD-spectrum disorders (including body dysmorphic disorder; BDD), anxiety disorders, and trauma-related disorders. I also frequently see clients with occurring ADHD, depression, and bipolar disorder. I use evidence-based approaches including exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (including CBT for BDD and CPT and PE for PTSD), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training.

Training Description:

I stay up to date with the latest research and techniques by regularly participating in trainings and consultations (offered by the IOCDF, Sheppard Pratt, etc.). I have been treating OCD-spectrum disorders using evidence-based approaches since 2020.
