Who I Treat.

I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and adults with obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs including OCD, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), BDD by proxy, olfactory reference syndrome, body-focused repetitive behaviors like skin-picking and hair-pulling), anxiety disorders (social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic, phobias), and eating disorders (binge eating, bulimia).

Individual Psychotherapy.

I use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure with response prevention (ERP), habit reversal training (HRT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, and mindfulness techniques as needed to treat OCRDs, anxiety, and body image. I conduct a comprehensive diagnostic assessment with all new clients to create an effective, individualized treatment plan tailored to your unique symptoms, circumstances, and therapy goals.

Assessment.

I also offer diagnostic assessment services separate from therapy. I can meet with you to determine whether you have OCD or a related disorder (like body dysmorphic disorder, hair pulling, or skin picking) and make treatment recommendations.

Professional Consultation and Presentations.

I offer consultation to mental health providers on assessment and differential diagnosis, treatment planning, and providing evidence-based therapy for clients with OCD, body dysmorphic disorder, and related disorders.

I offer workshops on the assessment and cognitive-behavioral treatment of OCD, body dysmorphic disorder, and related disorders for clinicians and other medical providers (e.g., dermatologists, plastic surgeons).
