I provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and related disorders including tic disorders using CBIT. I also treat sleep disorders.
CBT has been shown to be effective for many problems and is the only proven therapy for OCD. Many therapists say they do CBT, unfortunately they may actually be doing something else. I have extensive training in CBT and now my work includes providing training and supervision in CBT.
I am a Founding Fellow of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, a Diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology and I am a member of the Scientific and Clinical Advisory Board of The Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation. I have a graduate certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis. I have certifications in treatment of BFRBs and Tourette’s.
