Work History

I began my therapeutic career in New York City, working at a methadone clinic in Harlem. I was immediately drawn to uncovering the underlying anxiety and depression in the life of a drug addict. I was able to help open up the deep wounds and help the addicts heal from their haunted pasts. At that point, I knew that my strategies were both effective and, most importantly, they provided hope for a new beginning. I quickly applied my techniques to many other settings, including inpatient psychiatry, outpatient therapy, and private practice. I received specialized training in OCD, anxiety disorders, and depression from the OCD Resource Center of Florida. I then graduated from the Behavioral Therapy Training Institute. I have over 15 years of experience treating OCD, generalized anxiety, social phobia, specific phobias, panic disorders, PTSD, trichotillomania, body dysmorphia, and depression. I proudly implement evidence-based practices, including Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Exposure and response prevention (ERP).
