Frequently Asked Questions

  • I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and related conditions in children, adolescents, and adults. My areas of expertise include OCD, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, health anxiety, social anxiety, separation anxiety, specific phobias, emetophobia, and selective eating related to anxiety.

    I have worked one-on-one with clients with OCD and anxiety related disorders for 6+ years, allowing individuals to build empowerment and independence. I have also served as an OCD Clinical Expert, offering consultation and training for mental health professionals at a large healthcare agency in NE Ohio. Additionally, I have 7+ years in clinical research, bridging my passions for personalized clinical care and evidence-based treatment.

  • Getting started can often be the hardest step, so we make it simple. Fill out the contact form, email us, or call/text. We will get back to you within 1-2 business days to set up a 10 minute consultation call where I am happy to answer any questions and discuss treatment options.

    From there, we will schedule our first appointment. Your first appointment focuses on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your current concerns, relevant history, treatment goals, and begin developing a plan that feels individualized and collaborative.

    You'll also have plenty of time to ask questions and determine whether we're a good fit.

  • Yes. All sessions are currently conducted securely through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, allowing you to receive specialized care from the comfort of your home anywhere in Ohio.

    Often times, treatment for OCD and anxiety is best done virtually as we can work on building empowerment and reducing engagement in anxiety-related behaviors in the spaces that are most important to you.

  • We are a private-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly.

    Choosing private pay allows us to provide individualized treatment without insurance restrictions, so we can tailor therapy to your unique needs rather than insurance requirements.

    If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and varies by plan.

    Under the No Surprises Act, every client will receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected healthcare costs before beginning services.

  • Currently, we are only offering services to individuals virtually in the state of Ohio.

  • Session frequency is customizable for your individual needs and treatment goals. Most clients begin with weekly sessions to establish momentum and build treatment skills. As progress is made, sessions may become less frequent based on your goals and clinical needs.

  • Yes! ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD and many anxiety disorders, and it is a central component of Beyond OCD & Anxiety. Together, we'll create exposures at a pace that feels challenging yet manageable while building confidence in your ability to tolerate uncertainty.
