Codependency is the fourth trauma response (Fawn), often learned in difficult relationships. Clients often struggle to identify needs, make decisions, or rely on external validation. Recovery means feeling seen, releasing shame, and differentiating reality from distorted thinking. We reflect on your past, build the courage to articulate needs, create distance in harmful relationships, and connect with your core values.

Low self-esteem can lead to painful paths: anxiety, negative thinking, & people-pleasing. The unrelenting pressures of society can compound negative messages from formative years & generational trauma, leaving us susceptible to feelings of inadequacy. My approach is rooted in self-compassion and doing work to recognize where those originating messages come from. Together, we'll "unlearn" what you have been taught, prioritize what you truly need, and align with your core values.

OCD is often misunderstood; it's more than just physical rituals. It involves mental compulsions that feel like overthinking, but are actually a coping strategy against severe anxiety. People with OCD often struggle with uncertainty and need control. The gold standard for recovery is Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). Recovery is about building self-trust, recognizing thoughts as just thought (not problems to solve or understand), and having the courage to face your fears to reclaim your life.

ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD. I have received training in OCD Diagnosis and Treatment from NOCD. I guide clients to gently confront uncertainty and the fear driving their compulsions, whether the rituals or physical or mental. This process is collaborative and non-judgmental, focused on empowering you to build self-trust and recognizing that thoughts are simply thoughts, not problems to solve. I specialize in helping you face your fears and reclaim your life.

As a Certified CBT Therapist, I specialize in this skills-based modality for clients struggling with anxiety and depression. CBT is essential for managing automatic negative thoughts. We focus on identifying the pattern between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and learning to challenge distortions by exploring other possible realities. This approach empowers you with clear tools to regulate overwhelming emotions and build healthier coping mechanisms for lasting change.

My expertise in Psychodynamic Therapy is rooted in helping clients connect their past experiences to their present struggles. Together, we'll explore these unconscious dynamics to understand your entire story. This approach provides the deep self-understanding necessary to make sense of complex feelings, break free from harmful cycles, and gain greater choice over your behavior.
