Skin picking, hair pulling and nail biting habits (BFRB's, Body focused repetitive behaviors) are notoriously hard to stop. And they can cause real damage, embarrassment and isolation. If you have had failed attempts to stop these habits, it is not your fault. Working with an experienced therapist using evidence based treatments gives you a big advantage and can lead you to quick and successful long term management. I combine insightful, caring depth work with scientifically validated evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from harmful habits and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, cheek biting, and other body-focused repetitive behaviors can be frustrating, confusing, and difficult to change through willpower alone. Many people have also spent years hiding their behaviors or feeling shame about something they do not fully understand.
I approach BFRBs with curiosity rather than judgment. Together, we can identify patterns, triggers, sensory experiences, environments, emotions, and routines associated with the behavior. Treatment may include increasing awareness, reducing barriers to change, modifying environments, finding alternative sensory experiences, and developing individualized strategies based on what your particular behavior is providing or responding to.
The goal is not shame or perfect control. It is greater awareness, choice, self-understanding, and access to tools that can reduce the impact BFRBs have on your life.

I have extensive experience working with individuals with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors including hair pulling, skin picking and other behaviors that can be harmful and distressing. I use a client-centered approach to tailor interventions to fit my clients' needs. I particularly like using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to work through these behaviors.

Repetitive picking, restricting, exercising, or injurious behaviors require specialized care. I use a body-positive approach to treat these and pay special attention to the underlying causes contributing to symptomatic behaviors.
