I am a licensed psychologist who is Board Certified in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. My role as a therapist is to help children and families develop the skills they need to manage the challenges they face. An important part of working with children is making sure parents feel supported, and that parents are also given what they need to feel equipped to support their child. I work with children, teenagers, and their families on a wide variety of issues in addition to Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors including anxiety, selective mutism, trauma, OCD, PANS/PANDAS, ADHD, and disruptive behavior problems. I see each family as distinct, striving to identify and employ the most effective treatments available for their particular circumstances and working collaboratively to achieve their goals. I have extensive experience employing cognitive and behavioral treatments with strong research support, including Coping Cat for Anxious Youth, HRT for BFRBs, ERP for OCD, Parent- Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I am a certified TF-CBT therapist, and am certified by PCIT International as a PCIT therapist and Within Agency trainer. I am certified by Kurtz Psychology Consulting as PCIT for Selective Mutism Therapist and Within Agency Trainer.

I provide empirically-supported psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults. My work is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with an emphasis on mindfulness and self-compassion. My areas of specialization include anxiety spectrum disorders, with particular emphasis on OCD and parenting management, particularly for children with anxiety and behavioral dysregulation. I also have expertise in treating co-occurring BFRBs.

Are you struggling with trichotillomania or another form of BFRB? Have you tried hiding it from others out of shame and embarrassment?As a therapist who specializes in BFRBs, I’m accustomed to clients thinking they have to hide their condition from everyone they know. But you’re not alone. I have treated many people just like you and understand how your disorder impacts your life. 

I have been trained in Habit Reversal Training (HRT) and the Comprehensive Model for Behavioral Treatment (ComB). These are  behavioral therapies specifically designed for the treatment of BFRBs.  Using these therapies, I can help you learn skills to work against the urges to pull or pick. If you are struggling, there is hope and help is available. Contact me today.

I provide individual treatment for children, youth, adults, couples, and family based treatment for all BFRBs. Services are in person or web-based, depending on client preference. I also offer a Four Week Virtual Workshop on BFRB treatment to individuals and caregivers. I also offer a virtual BFRB support week that meets biweekly.
