I am a Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) Psychologist who specializes in OCD and Anxiety including panic, worry, social anxiety, health anxiety, and agoraphobia . I use highly effective treatments such as Exposure and Response Prevention and Panic Control Treatment. I am a member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). I completed my Doctoral Degree at Northern Illinois University, my Clinical Psychology Internship at the Ann Arbor VA, and my Postdoctoral Residency at the University of Michigan Consortium. I am a proud co-owner of OakHeart, Center for Counseling. I believe that success in therapy relies upon a foundation of mutual trust and that the therapeutic alliance is one of the most important factors in helping clients improve and reach their goals. I place a high value on respecting my clients, providing a safe and supportive space for growth, and emphasize the importance of placing the client's needs, values, and goals as an invaluable catalyst for change.
