I have created a personalized program and treatment for individuals with Trichotillomania and Dermatillomania. Serving children, adolescents, and adults, I offer cognitive-behavioral therapy, including Habit Reversal Training (ComB), for both hair pulling disorder and skin picking disorder. From a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapeutic basis, each person is evaluated and treated in a collaborative way for the best results. If you are thinking nothing will help you, you are wrong. Let us work together and make some results happen.

I am a Licensed Psychologist specializing in the treatment of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and many related concerns. I provide compassionate, collaborative, evidence-based care for all manner of body-focused repetitive behaviors, including hair-pulling and skin-picking. I can help you or your family member better understand their symptoms and develop an individualized plan for tackling the problem. I also have particular expertise in addressing these issues with autistic individuals and people with ADHD or other types of neurodiversity.

I have held a private practice dedicated specifically to BFRB clients for the past ten years. Prior to that, I conducted research on hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting patterns. I host individuals, couples, and groups for BFRB treatment and support, and offer consultations to other clinicians. I have psychodynamic, somatic, CBT, ACT, ERP, and IFS trainings that I draw from to help people finally feel more at peace with, more liberated from, and more in control of their pulling, picking, and biting behaviors. You can learn more about me and my therapeutic attitudes on my website or Instagram @bfrbtherapist.
