About Us

As a Clinician with over two decades of experience working in Psychiatry at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, I have also been in Private Practice as a Therapist specializing in the assessment and treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Depression and Stress/Loss of Chronic Illness. Because I found there were few if any professionally led groups for OCD Sufferers, I developed an active Group Program for Adults with OCD. My style is warm and direct with a desire to work together to build on your strengths using Cognitive Behavioral Treatment/Exposure & Response Prevention and Psychotherapy. OCD Family Guidance also. , Please feel free to contact me for a 15-20 minute phone consultation (no fee) to see if you would like to go ahead and schedule an appointment. I will work with you at your own pace, especially regarding CBT/ERP for OCD. The treatment takes work, but it does not have to be intolerable for OCD to improve. , " One important point regarding my practice that may differ from other OCD Treatment in the area is this. I will create an OCD Program with you that may proceed more gradually versus the model of increasing a sufferers anxiety more quickly. OCD Treatment involves raising ones anxiety, but does not have to be intolerable nor take years to be effective. "
