My passion is treating severe Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. My clients joke that I am "not a talk therapist, but a 'do' therapist," as sessions are often very active and skills focused. I provide evidence-based treatments (methods proven by research to be more effective than general talk therapy), as my goal is to help people get results as soon as possible. In addition to providing therapy I am the founding director of two Western NY based clinics: Genesee Valley Psychology and Meridian Psychology Practice. I am also affiliated with the University of Rochester Medical Center and McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School. I am a Board Certified Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PhD, ABPP) trained extensively in CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) and ERP for OCD (Exposure & Response Prevention). I also incorporate mindfulness and acceptance based therapies into my practice. The majority of my clinical training took pace at Harvard Medical School's McLean Hospital. Change can be terrifying and extremely powerful. I value meeting new clients where they are at in their anxiety journey, and together building skills to reach new goals and reduce anxiety.
