Therapy sessions are tailored to each individual's needs using evidenced-based treatments that are most effective for your concerns. 

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
If you are living with OCD we will use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), or Inference Based CBT (I-CBT) and may integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have received specialized training in treatment options for OCD and will work with you to decide which therapeutic approaches are most appropriate for your needs. 

Perinatal Mental Health (PMADs)
Therapy for postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD can include a variety of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness. I have completed certificate training through Postpartum Support International on the treatment of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and particularly enjoy working with individuals with postpartum OCD.

Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs)
For hair pulling and skin picking disorders we will use the Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Habit Reversal Training (HRT). I have received specialized training in the treatment of hair pulling and skin picking through the TLC Foundation for BFRBs Virtual Professional Training Institute. 

Anxiety and Phobias
Treatments for anxiety and phobias include a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure Therapy, and Mindfulness, and will be individualized for your needs. I have experience providing therapy for generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, specific phobias, emetophobia, and panic attacks. For childhood anxiety and OCD I offer parent-based therapy using the SPACE program. SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting of Anxious Childhood Emotions. SPACE was developed at the Yale Child Study Center, and I was trained in SPACE by the creator of the treatment program.

Trauma
If you are coming to therapy for the treatment of PTSD or other trauma-related concerns, we will be using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE) for adolescents and adults, or Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for children.

Family Therapy
Depending on your individual circumstances and needs, you may find it helpful to include your family members or other loved ones in treatment. If family therapy is an appropriate supplement to individual therapy, it will be included in your treatment. For children, the participation of parents or caregivers is a significant component of therapy.
