Training

I earned a Doctorate and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Chatham University, Pittsburgh, PA, in 2018, and a BS in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2008.

I completed a two-year postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical/McLean Hospital’s OCDI residential program in Belmont, MA, where I received extensive training in treating OCD and related disorders.

During my training, I worked in a variety of settings, including OCD residential treatment, a state forensic psychiatric hospital, substance abuse inpatient hospitalization, neurorehabilitation, and community mental health.

Clinical Expertise

I specialize in the treatment of severe Anxiety Disorders, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Social Anxiety, and Panic Attacks in adults and adolescents. I treat the following conditions:

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Personality

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Excoriation Disorder (skin picking)

  • Panic

  • Perfectionism

  • Phobia

  • Social Anxiety

  • Trichotillomania (hair pulling)

  • Skin Picking (Excoriation Disorder)

  • Hair Pulling (Trichotillomania)

I integrate a variety of treatment techniques, with a primary focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches.

I utilize these intervention techniques from a person-centered stance that focuses on the therapeutic relationship.

I'm passionate about providing culturally sensitive care and strive to create a comfortable space for a spectrum of sociocultural identities.
