My clients generally come to me because of my expertise in treating OCD and Anxiety Disorders. Oftentimes, clients are struggling with other problem areas as well (e.g., depression, self-esteem, communication), and we address these problems throughout the course of therapy. The people who work with me tend to be highly motivated, and willing to work as part of a team in an effort to reduce symptoms and improve overall life functioning and enjoyment in a guided, structured, efficient manner.
I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention. These therapeutic approaches have been shown through scientific studies to be highly effective in treating a wide range of presenting problems. I will work with you to tailor an individualized treatment plan that will help you work consistently toward your therapy goals.
While I take my profession seriously, I like to incorporate my sense of humor into my work. I think that when we learn to laugh a little at our problems, they lose some of their power. I will be here to listen, understand you, and guide you through your struggles. It is my goal to utilize my clinical skills to help make difficult situations easier to manage.
