How to work with this therapist

Experience in treating OCD: I specialize in the treatment of OCD – particularly complex presentation such as mental OCD (AKA ‘Pure-O’) and somatically focused OCD (E.g. intrusive thinking about blinking/swallowing/heart beat). I completed my Ph.D. at Hofstra University where I received training in third wave behavioral therapies such as ACT and DBT which inform my approach. I completed 2 years of predoctoral training at The Reeds Center, an OCD and anxiety disorders speciality practice. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the OCD Center at Northwell Health (formerly Northshore-LIJ) under Dr. Anthony Pinto – a member of the IOCDF scientific advisory board. Diversity Statement: OCD is a condition which strikes at our values. For many, religious, cultural, and ethical values may be the content of intrusive thoughts and in providing treatment I am careful to consider these values when providing OCD care – learning how to accurately decipher meaningful religious experience from compulsive behavior. I have provided exposure therapy for individuals for racially and economically diverse populations. I am particularly qualified to treat individuals with religious scrupulosity among Orthodox/Ultra-Orthodox Jewish given my extensive knowledge of Jewish law and culture.

All of our therapists are personally trained by our team of OCD experts. It's what sets us apart.
