With extensive background and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I have focused on working with Hoarding Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors, and depression. I began working with OCD during my first clinical experience in graduate school and have focused my work on OC Spectrum Disorders ever since. There are many other opportunities that my clinical experiences have made possible – presenting conferences, collaborating with Hoarding Task Forces and regional organizations, and supporting communities. I view life as an on-going path of development and learning.

Therapy is a collaborative effort between clinician and client. This relationship helps create a treatment plan that is unique to the individual and their challenges. I also find that it brings creativity and flexibility into the development of therapeutic exercises. We are working to facilitate mastery over the individual’s struggles.

I firmly believe that therapy is meant to strengthen and add to a person’s life. It isn’t intended to be a burden. However, therapy can be challenging work – both during and between sessions. Recognizing this, I often add a bit of humor or light. As Mary Poppins says, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down!

I believe in using Evidence Based Treatments but do not follow a rigid protocol. Rather, I draw on the relevant elements that are best suited to the individual so that, together, we can develop a plan that is best suited to address the issues and needs that brought the person to services in the first place.
