I work with patients who have been diagnosed with OCD, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders, as well as those who are struggling with issues such as avoidance/procrastination, perfectionism, self-criticism, or feeling generally overwhelmed. I provide a structured treatment approach to modify thoughts and behavior patterns with an emphasis on learning to tolerate uncomfortable emotions. I help patients increase their awareness for why they are struggling with the issues they encounter, and identify specific tools that will allow them to live their lives more aligned with their values.
I provide empirically-supported CBT for patients seeking treatment for a variety of conditions. I specialize in treating OCD and other anxiety disorders by utilizing exposure and response prevention (E/RP). I also enjoy working with individuals who struggle with perfectionism, using a CBT approach to promote more flexibility and self-compassion.
I approach therapy from a perspective of understanding and compassion, and work to cultivate that perspective in the patients that I work with. If you are interested in seeing if I am a good fit for what you are seeking in therapy, you are welcome to contact me about scheduling an appointment or an initial 15-minute phone consult.

When treating OCD and other anxiety conditions, I primary use exposure and response prevention. This is a structured approach that aims to help patients face their fears to learn new information about the source of their fears as well as their capacity to tolerate discomfort. In my work with patients, I also emphasize self-compassion to promote more understanding and kindness to oneself.

I approach treatment primarily through a CBT lens. This means that I offer a structured approach focused on increasing awareness and developing tools to meet your treatment goals. I use exposure therapy when treating patients with anxiety conditions. While staying true to the CBT framework, I also aim to tailor my approach to meet the needs of my patients.
