About My Clients
I see clients with issues related to social anxiety, self-esteem, OCD/phobias, and food allergies. I take a collaborative approach, working with you to tackle the areas you want to focus on. The main goal is to get you to a place where you are happy with how you are managing life outside of therapy. Some of the more common phobias that I work with include: flying, driving, dental work, medical settings, fainting, illness, vomit (emetophobia), and death.
My Background and Approach
I take a direct but kind approach in my work. I want you to see real progress in game meaningful insight, and that often means being honest with you in a supportive way. That honesty helps build trust which creates space for real growth. I tend to use ACT and CBT-ERP, and tailor my approach to the individual I am working with. You don't have to live with constant butterflies before school, work, social gatherings, or family events. Together we will build strategies that feel realistic and help you move through those situations with confidence. I have extensive experience working with OCD and phobias. Intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and the fears that come with them can be overwhelming and, at times, isolating. There is no judgment in my therapy room. I understand how intense and consuming these experiences can feel and I'm here to help you face them in a way that feels manageable.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
You do not have to live feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or shameful. I believe that therapy isn't just about what happens during the session. Meaningful change is when therapy positively impacts your life outside of the clinical setting. When a client works with me, I am there to support them in seeing significant progress and meeting their goals.
