About My Clients

My clients are often misdiagnosed or given treatment that doesn’t work for OCD, and they find themselves feeling hopeless that anything could help them feel better. My client’s overthinking spirals get in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of person they want to be. They feel like they're failing as a friend, partner, career person, or just as a functioning adult. And their confidence in being the person that has it together is tanking.

My Background and Approach

As an OCD therapist, I use evidence-based treatments for OCD and anxiety—approaches that are proven to reduce symptoms and help people feel more grounded and connected in their lives. These include: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) for OCD, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and The Gottman Method and Attachment Based Therapy for dating and relationship anxiety. My training makes me particularly skilled at helping people distinguish between relational anxiety rooted in attachment issues and relationship OCD. This clarity can help people feel less confused and overwhelmed in their relationships.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I see each client as far more than a diagnostic label— no diagnosis can reflect the full nuance and complexity of the human experience— but having some clarity about what’s happening can guide us toward effective, evidence-based treatment options that truly make a difference. Like my clients, you can work towards your dreams, build meaningful relationships, and have fun in life instead of being held back by fear. Learning to trust yourself instead of listening to OCD and anxiety is not out of your reach. Having lived with OCD myself, I know how debilitating it can be. I also know firsthand that when provided with therapeutic approaches backed by real research, things can get better. That’s what drives me to do this work—I want people to know that life doesn’t have to revolve around OCD or anxiety, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
