I have a wide range of clinical experience working with individuals and family systems impacted by OCD or trauma.
I use a combination of Exposure Response/Ritual Prevention and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help clients meet and maintain gains made in treatment. While ERP addresses the primary concerns bringing a person to treatment, ACT promotes their ability to accept the challenges that are faced and commit to the ongoing work of healing.
