My Approach to Helping
I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) for teens and adults. I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches to individualize treatment for each client I work with. I typically begin by helping my clients understand the thinking patterns that are leading them to develop obsessions and compulsions (an approach called Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or I-CBT). I also incorporate exposure therapy (Exposure and Response Prevention or ERP) and acceptance approaches (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT) as indicated, and as desired by my clients.
