I am a licensed psychologist and member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF). I offer intensive therapy for OCD, comprehensive psychological assessment for Autism and ADHD, and evaluations and letters for gender-affirming/embodying medical procedures for transgender clients. Through structured, supportive therapy and collaborative, strengths-based assessment, I help clients build insight, reduce stuck patterns, and move forward with greater confidence and flexibility. Prior to both therapy and assessment, we will schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to answer your questions and ensure that we are a good fit.
The ERP for OCD intensive will comprise 1.5-hour meetings thrice-weekly for about 5 weeks for rapid progress and concludes with a celebration of your hard work and successes. Assessment appointments are weekly for 1.5-2 hours and will conclude with a final review session during which you receive a detailed report with tailored recommendations.
If you’re curious about how therapy or assessment might be helpful, please reach out to schedule a brief consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
