Therapy Services
Individual telehealth for adults (18+) across New York State.
Evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders, OCD, and trauma.
Treatment Approach
Most people I work with are seeking help for anxiety. About half have OCD. Treatment is skill based, goal-oriented, and focused on helping you build a life that is not organized around fear, avoidance, or rituals.
I use exposure-based and third-wave cognitive behavioral therapies, including ERP, Prolonged Exposure, ACT, CBT, and EAET, depending on your needs. When a well-supported treatment exists, we use it. When it doesn't, we adapt.
Work is paced to be purposeful and manageable, with an emphasis on steady, meaningful progress.
Treatment Specialties

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for all OCD presentations: harm OCD, postpartum OCD, scrupulosity, Pure O, ROCD, contamination, just-right OCD, and more. ERP is the gold-standard psychotherapy for OCD. Research shows that 60% to 85% of adults with OCD who complete treatment see significant symptom reduction, and improvement is often maintained for years after treatment ends.
Full OCD specialty page →Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, health anxiety, and emetophobia/vomiting phobia. Treatment combines exposure-based CBT and ACT. If prior anxiety treatment hasn't worked, an unrecognized OCD presentation may be worth exploring.
Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy for PTSD. PE is one of the most well-established, evidence-based treatments for PTSD, recommended as a first-line therapy by all major clinical guidelines. Over half of people who complete PE see a meaningful reduction in PTSD symptoms, with many achieving full recovery. If you're not yet ready to start PE, we can begin with skills-based work to help you prepare.
I do not offer EMDR or general trauma-informed therapy.
Trichotillomania (hair pulling), excoriation (skin picking), and related BFRBs. Trained through the TLC Foundation's Professional Training Institute. Treatment uses the Comprehensive Behavioral (ComB) model — an individualized approach that addresses the sensory, cognitive (thoughts), affective (mood), motor (physical habits), and environmental factors that drive each person's behavior.
Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) and CBT for chronic pain, IBS, and related conditions. Gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS and gastrointestinal disorders using the North Carolina protocol. Psychological support for living with chronic illness.
Depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), PMDD, and emotion dysregulation (difficulty managing intense emotions) using evidence-based CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed skills training. Depression frequently co-occurs with anxiety or OCD, and treatment can address both.
A Note About DBT
Individual DBT skills training and DBT-informed therapy are available as part of treatment when clinically appropriate. I do not offer comprehensive DBT, which includes skills groups and between-session phone coaching. Patients with active life-threatening behaviors will be referred to comprehensive DBT programs that can safely meet their needs.
Who I Work With
Adults 18 and older via telehealth across New York State. I have experience working with veterans, college students, people living with chronic illness, older adults, survivors of domestic violence and intimate partner violence, and crime victims.
I also work with people navigating life transitions, including career changes, loss, relationship transitions, and major life disruptions.
This practice welcomes people of all ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, and relationship structures, including those in the kink and BDSM community. People with disabilities, chronic health conditions, atheists, non-religious individuals, and people of all faith backgrounds are welcome, regardless of citizenship or immigration status.
A note on confidentiality: Many people with harm-related OCD delay seeking treatment out of fear that disclosing their thoughts will result in a report to police or child protective services. It won't. Intrusive, unwanted thoughts are not the same as intent, plans, or actions, and an experienced OCD clinician knows the difference. Your thoughts are symptoms, not crimes. Sharing your intrusive thoughts in therapy does not trigger any reporting obligation. Confidentiality applies fully.
