Services & Specialties
What I treat, how I treat it, and what it costs
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Treatment
I specialize in gold-standard, evidence-based treatments for OCD that have been proven effective in helping individuals break free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. OCD affects approximately 2.5% of the U.S. population (International OCD Foundation), and research shows that 60-80% of patients who complete evidence-based treatment experience significant symptom reduction (APA, 2007).
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)
A powerful approach that targets the reasoning processes underlying OCD, helping you recognize and modify the faulty inferences that fuel obsessive doubts and compulsive behaviors.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
The gold-standard behavioral treatment for OCD. Through gradual, systematic exposure to feared situations while preventing compulsive responses, you'll learn that anxiety naturally decreases without rituals.
Symptoms Addressed
- Intrusive, unwanted thoughts
- Compulsive behaviors and mental rituals
- Contamination fears and washing rituals
- Checking and reassurance-seeking
- Symmetry and ordering compulsions
- Harm obsessions and prevention behaviors
- Religious and moral scrupulosity
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are among the most common reasons people seek therapy, and both respond well to treatment. According to NIMH, anxiety disorders affect 31.1% of U.S. adults at some point in their lives, and depression affects approximately 8.4% in any given year (NIMH, 2023). I use multiple proven approaches depending on what's going on.
