About Dr. Lyon
I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of OCD, skin-picking disorder, and hair-pulling disorder and anxiety disorders (including panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, healthy anxiety, and agoraphobia). I also treat trauma disorders, sleep disorders, and tics disorders.
I have treated some of the most severe cases of OCD and other anxiety disorders at the residential and partial hospitalization levels, which has given me the tools to more effectively treat these conditions in traditional outpatient therapy.
I use ERP, CBT, and other evidence-based treatments to help clients meet their treatment goals. I strive to create a genuine, welcoming, and respectful therapeutic environment for all my clients. I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Shame, guilt, doubt, and feelings of isolation often accompany obsessive-compulsive and anxiety disorders. It can also be difficult to reach out for help. Evidence-based therapy really does work and can help you gain a sense of freedom from your symptoms. Iād love to help you reach your treatment goals!
