I have been treating BFRBs since I started by my postdoctoral training at the OCD Institute at McLean Hospital, where I currently reside as a staff psychologist. I use behavioral treatments such as Habit Reversal and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to effectively treat BFRSs of all kinds. I specialize in working with people aged 16 and beyond. Quickest way to reach me is via work email.

I provide a comfortable, safe and welcoming environment. I see clients who want help understanding and managing their BFRBs. I also provide therapy for clients who want help with depression, anxiety, life-transitions, self-esteem issues, family and attachment issues and to those who want to find their best selves.
