As a psychologist and the owner of T.O.P.+ Behavioral Health, I specialize in client-centered, evidence-based treatments for Tic disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic Disorder, plus many other concerns. My expertise includes Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD; Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for Tourette Syndrome & Tic disorders; Prolonged Exposure (PE) for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); and Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Social Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, vomit (Emetophobia) & other Specific Phobias. Additional services offered include CBT for Hoarding Disorder, Depression, Adult ADHD and Insomnia. With a background that is also strongly rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), I regularly incorporate elements (e.g., mindfulness; acceptance strategies; self-compassion) from these into my approach.
My expertise in the aforementioned areas spans over fifteen years and thousands of hours providing care in various settings such as academic medical centers, OCD and anxiety specialty clinics, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and private practice. Relatedly, I have also served as a research therapist and assessor on several funded research trials related to many of the above clinical areas.
T.O.P.+ Behavioral Health offers services for adults, children, and adolescents, with treatment for children and adolescents limited to tic disorders (aged 6+) and OCD (aged 8+). Choose from in-office appointments in Northampton, MA, or telehealth from anywhere in Massachusetts. I am also pleased to offer appointments in the community (e.g., exposure sessions in community) as well as home visits. If you’re ready to take the next step in managing your mental health, please contact me.
