I have extensive training cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), family systems therapy and mindfulness. I am specialized in the treatment of a variety of anxiety disorders including body focused repetitive behaviors (BFRB), social anxiety, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and obsessive-compulsive and other related disorders (OCD). I am also trained in Habit Reversal Therapy (HRT) to treat Trichotillomania and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tourette syndrome (CBIT).  I pride myself on developing a deep connection to my clients and create a warm therapeutic relationship needed to achieve results and action while in treatment. I pull from a range of evidence-based therapies to create an approach that works for the individual client. I highly value collaboration with other treatment providers, including with psychiatrists, physicians, and treatment team members.

Building rapport and establishing a safe and therapeutic environment is most important. My approach to therapy is collaborative. A typical session with me begins with getting to know the needs and goals of the client. When coming to therapy, many are struggling and want to find some relief. I believe that allowing clients to share their experience, allows the therapist to gather data/information that can be used during treatment planning. 

Teletherapy has many benefits for clients. One benefit is more flexibility. It gives clients more time. The commitment time is now just the length of the appointment. There is no need to allow for traffic, finding a parking place, or sitting in the waiting room. Clients can schedule appointments from home before work or in their office during lunch.
