I believe that the most effective way to heal old wounds and develop new strengths is in relationship to other people, and have faith in the potential for the therapeutic relationship to be a vehicle for deep insight and transformation. I work with adults and adolescents with anxiety disorders, who are facing major life transitions, who are dealing with relationship discord or who simply want to explore their full potential. In addition to standard therapy, I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP), the gold standard treatment for OCD. I take expert care in helping my clients understand their OCD and overcome their most debilitating fears and anxieties. I know from personal experience how terrifying ERP can be, and wholly believe in its healing potential. I tend to have an active and direct interpersonal style. If you prefer an inquisitive therapist who gently challenges, uses humor when appropriate, and who appreciates client feedback in strengthening and negotiating the therapeutic relationship, we might be a good fit.
