I (she/her) am a child and adolescent psychotherapist specializing in OCD, and anxiety-related disorders. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was an individual crisis counselor for six years, and an emergency room rape crisis counselor for three. I was also a researcher who aided in the development of the most recent DSM-5 Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children, Adolescents, and Parents — the most widely used diagnostic interview for children and adolescents.

I offer long-term individual psychotherapy to children and adolescents aged 10-17 and occasionally work with children as young as six on a case-by-case basis. I also offer short-term treatment for OCD and anxiety-related disorders to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in treating the following conditions: OCD, hoarding, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder..

I have completed training in several evidence-based modalities to treat OCD and anxiety-related disorders*, but I believe the deepest value I bring to my work is my lived experience. I suffered from OCD, generalized anxiety, and an eating disorder for twenty years, and know what it’s like to have mental illness take control of your life. Too many people come to me after years of receiving treatment that was unhelpful at best, and harmful at worst. If this sounds like you, we may be a great fit.

I have made a conscious decision to dedicate the entirety of my practice to helping people battling anxiety because I believe my clients deserve the most comprehensive, well-informed treatment possible. You deserve freedom, and I would love to help you find it.
