Overview: Hoarding disorder was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 2013, but because the clinical recognition of hoarding disorder is relatively new, few healthcare professionals have extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of hoarding disorder. Additionally, hoarding disorder is a challenging mental health issue, particularly in older adults who hoard.

Her research is focused on treatment outcomes for the obsessive-compulsive spectrum and related disorders.
