About Me

I am a specialist in OCD and anxiety disorders with 18 years of clinical experience. I use gold-standard, evidence-based treatments to help clients reclaim their lives from anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and compulsive behaviors.

My Approach to Therapy

My primary approach is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective treatment for OCD. I also integrate ACT and CBT techniques depending on the client's needs. I provide a structured yet compassionate environment where clients learn to face fears gradually and build lasting confidence.
