FAQs
What types of therapy do you offer?
I specialize in evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Inference-Based CBT (ICBT). These approaches are especially effective for OCD, anxiety, and related struggles. Therapy is tailored to your needs, & we’ll go at a pace that feels manageable & meaningful.
Do you work with children or teens?
Yes! I work with kids, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, or emotion regulation. Sessions are age-appropriate and include caregiver support as needed. If your child is stuck in worry, rituals, or avoidance, I can help you both understand what’s going on and build tools to move forward.
Do you offer in-person or virtual therapy?
Both! I offer in-person sessions at my office in Irwin, PA, and telehealth for clients anywhere in Pennsylvania. We'll choose the format that works best for your schedule, comfort, and needs.
What is ERP and how does it work?
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard treatment for OCD. It involves gradually facing fears or triggers while resisting compulsions, building confidence and reducing anxiety over time. It’s done collaboratively and with care, never forced or rushed.
I’m not sure if it’s OCD or just anxiety. Can you still help?
Absolutely. Many people don’t realize they have OCD, or they feel unsure about what their symptoms mean. I’ll help you sort through what you’re experiencing and figure out what kind of support makes sense. You don’t need a perfect label to start feeling better.
