Hello! I'm a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders (including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, and panic), PTSD, and eating disorders. I offer evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for mood and personality disorders. I provide teletherapy services to young adults and adults throughout Massachusetts.
My approach is active, collaborative, and rooted in a deep commitment to understanding you as a person. We will develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals, regularly assessing progress to ensure we're on track. I will guide you in challenging unhelpful thoughts, engaging in exposures, and developing new skills - all within a compassionate environment.
My approach is flexible and personalized to you, whether that means creating space to process difficult emotions or providing accountability to help you reach your weekly goals. Ultimately, therapy is about what works best for you. I will ensure that our work together is both evidence-based and centered around your individual needs and preferences.
