I incorporate psychopharmacology (medication management) if needed. I have specific expertise is in treating anxiety disorders, selective mutism, depression, ADHD, Tourette’s, and OCD. I have trained extensively in exposure-response prevention for OCD.

I am the recipient of national clinical awards from various institutions, including the the Beck Institute.
