About My Clients

I work with children, teens, and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD, panic, phobias, and chronic pain. Many feel stuck in cycles of fear, avoidance, or persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and build practical skills to help you regain confidence and move toward the life you want.

My Background and Approach

I take a person-centered, collaborative approach that is tailored to each client's goals and needs. My work is grounded in evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based strategies, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) for chronic pain. I believe lasting change comes from understanding the patterns that keep us stuck while gradually building new ways of responding. My goal is to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and challenged at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people are resilient, and meaningful change is possible with the right support.
