Psychotherapy for OCD and related disorders

I am a licensed psychotherapist, who specializes in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OC-spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and trauma. I gained my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston - Clear Lake. I worked at the Houston OCD Program (currently known as the OCD Institute of Texas), a residential treatment center for OCD, for years, where I gained an in-depth understanding of the complex nature of OCD and how to effectively treat it. I have also worked in various outpatient settings with individuals of all ages. Throughout my career I have lead group therapy sessions on topics such as Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among others. I have also supervised other mental health professionals, supported families of individuals with OCD, and lead specialised trainings for clinicians.

Through years of experience and ongoing extensive trainings I provide the following specialised treatments: Exposure and Response Prevention and Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) for OCD, SPACE for parents of children with anxiety/OCD, Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma. I always sprinkle in a little Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in everything I do.

My therapeutic style is compassionate and supportive yet firm. I work collaboratively with you and encourage you to be an active participant. After all, you are an expert in YOU. I believe in purpose-driven change and setting specific goals. Clarifying what is important to you and then moving towards those values is a vital part of the therapeutic journey.

I also provide case consultations for mental health professionals and lead trainings for individuals and groups. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in setting up an appointment for therapy or for a case consultation or if you would like to design a training that fits your needs. Please note that I am currently on maternity leave and will return to individual client work in the beginning of 2026.
