Are tics or OCD disrupting life—for you or someone you love?

Hello, I’m Andrew, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

I offer personalized, virtual therapy for kids, teens, and adults using CBIT for tics and ERP for OCD—all in a supportive, compassionate setting.

Is Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) right for you or your child?

You might benefit from CBIT if you or your child are experiencing:

  • Frequent motor or vocal tics that feel disruptive or uncomfortable

  • Tics that interfere with school, work, or social situations

  • Increased tics during times of stress, excitement, or fatigue

  • A desire to manage tics without medication

  • Frustration or embarrassment related to your tics

Is Exposure and Response Therapy (ERP) right for you or your child?

ERP may be a good fit if you or your child are experiencing:

  • Obsessive thoughts that feel intrusive, scary, or unwanted

  • Compulsions—like checking, counting, or washing—that feel hard to stop

  • Avoidance of certain situations, people, or tasks due to anxiety

  • Intense discomfort when things don’t feel “just right”

  • Feelings of being stuck in a cycle of anxiety and rituals

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 50 - 60% of individuals experience significant improvement in tic symptoms after completing CBIT, and 87% of treatment responders maintained improvement 6 months post-treatment.

“Andrew did an amazing job helping my son with CBIT. I can happily say that we have seen improvements with his tics all around, and we have ideas on what to do in the future to help as well. Thanks for all you did!”
