About

Welcome! My name is Ari. I specialize in CBT-Exposure Response Prevention treatment for OCD and anxiety. Clients I work with frequently report life-changing reductions in anxiety and a new way of coping with obsessions and compulsions that give them more freedom to live their lives. Research shows individuals can experience 25 to 35% reductions in OCD and anxiety symptoms within 6 to 12 weeks of ERP treatment, with variations in outcomes depending on the frequency of appointments. Only about 4% of individuals do not experience these outcomes. I find that ERP is helpful for most of the people I work with. I am a straightforward person ready to provide you with a sense of empowerment and partnership in your journey to managing your thoughts and anxiety in a new way. I have seen countless lives changed by ERP, and I am very passionate about helping people change their own lives.
