My primary clinical approach is research-based, but I am compassionate, caring, and spiritual at the heart. My practice - Healing Songs Therapy - is so named because I believe every person has a story to tell that either supports or distorts their healing identity. And that identity is at the base of so many issues we face. This will be a common theme we come back to throughout the course of our treatment.  

I offer guided EX/RP (exposure and response prevention) and CBT for OCD, using the Y-BOCS to measure symptom severity. Many people with OCD also suffer from trauma or depression. If there is either an acute or complex trauma component to your OCD, I may also work with you to come up with a plan for addressing that using EMDR or another validated trauma-based therapy.
