About My Clients

I work best with people who feel stuck in their own heads — caught in intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or anxiety that logic alone hasn't been able to talk them out of. Many of my clients are dealing with OCD in its many forms, though I also see people navigating grief, existential fears, and the harder questions of being alive. If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through anxiety or feel like you've tried everything, I'd love to help you find a different way through.

My Background and Approach

I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor running a solo private practice, and I specialize in OCD across its many subtypes using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment. I also draw on CBT, EMDR, ACT, IFS, Existential, and solutions-focused approaches depending on what a client needs. Alongside my clinical work, I'm also a death doula, which shapes how I sit with grief, mortality, and the existential weight that often underlies anxiety and OCD. I don't believe therapy has to feel clinical or distant — I aim to be direct, warm, humorous, and genuinely present with the people I work with, especially around topics most people find too uncomfortable to talk about openly.
