Expert in relationship therapy, OCD and anxiety treatment.
I am a board certified couple and family psychologist with a private practice in Center City, Philadelphia. I started my career training and researching under a model developer of Functional Family Therapy and have been helping adolescents and their families since 2006. I have training in some of the only evidence-based approaches for couples (ECFT) and families (FFT, ABFT); and, for the treatment of OCD and anxiety disorders (ERP, ACT), as well as trauma and PTSD (PE).
Most people benefit from a therapist who can share an understanding of their situation or relationship, while also providing a new perspective and feedback on what is getting in their way. Whether you want to take better care of yourself or your relationship with an important person, I can help you feel more self-assured and make constructive changes.
