How is your OCD treatment different from general therapy?

• OCD is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and not treated effectively. Many therapists use general talk therapy or CBT, which can actually make OCD worse. A specialized OCD therapist, like myself, uses targeted treatments like ERP and ICBT that are designed for how OCD actually works. Unlike general therapy, these approaches require specific training and experience to do effectively. If you're looking for specialized OCD care in North Carolina, South Carolina, or Virginia, I can help you get the treatment you deserve.
  

Are you taking new clients?

• I take on new clients by application only. I work with women and teens who are ready for personalized OCD treatment. Submit an application to be considered - I personally review each one to ensure we're the right fit.
  

Do you take my insurance?

• Before you see any therapist, call your insurance company. Ask the rep what your in- and out-of-network benefits are for mental health therapy.

• I am in-network with Aetna. I am a Tricare certified provider, which means that you could be eligible for reimbursement for a portion of the session fees. Many Tricare clients get between $65-$90 back per appointment.
  

Do you take Medicaid?

• No, I do not take Medicaid.
  

Do you prescribe medicine?

• No. If you need medication, I am happy to connect you with an OCD psychiatrist that can do so.
  

What treatment approach do you use for OCD?

• I specialize in two powerful approaches for OCD: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based CBT (ICBT). ERP is the gold-standard evidence-based treatment that helps you gradually face fears without giving in to compulsions. ICBT is a highly effective method that works on the underlying stories that keep OCD going. I tailor the approach to what works best for you.
  

Do you offer online treatment for OCD in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia?

• Yes! I provide online therapy for OCD throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Using evidence-based approaches like ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), helps clients manage obsessions and compulsions exactly where they are triggered. In fact, virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy.
