About My Clients

Do you feel stuck in a never-ending loop of overthinking, constant "checking," or seeking reassurance? Do you struggle with distressing or intrusive thoughts that make you worry you’re a bad person? Maybe you've already tried traditional talk therapy and found that talking endlessly about these issues only makes them worse. If so, I offer the gold standard treatment for OCD, an often misdiagnosed and overlooked issue: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

My Background and Approach

I'm licensed at the associate level in Georgia. I have experience across multiple levels of care as an OCD & anxiety therapist, including outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), and partial hospitalization (PHP) settings. I work with both individuals and families navigating a wide range of OCD presentations, phobias, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and body dysmorphic disorder. I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention, the gold standard treatment OCD. I also offer Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE). SPACE is a parent-focused treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related challenges. I am also trained in Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a non-exposure based therapy for OCD.
