I work with people whose anxiety is keeping them stuck, helping them face their fears and create meaningful change, reclaiming the life they want to live.

Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I can help clients who are caught in the cycle of intrusive thoughts and feel like compulsions are taking over your life. We will work together to gradually face your fears without giving in to rituals. It's challenging work, but it's effective. My approach is compassionate and collaborative.

I help individuals and couples struggling with relationship challenges by teaching practical communication skills and healthy conflict resolution. Whether you are feeling disconnected, stuck in the same arguments, or unsure how to express your needs, we will work on building stronger connections. You will learn to communicate clearly, set boundaries, listen effectively, and navigate difficult conversations with confidence.

I integrate mindfulness into my CBT approach to help you change your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings. Instead of getting caught up in anxiety or rumination, you'll learn to notice thoughts without judgement and respond with intention rather than react automatically. Mindfulness helps you stay grounded in the present moment, reducing the power of "what if" thinking. This combination gives you both practical tools to challenge unhelpful patterns and the awareness to catch them.

I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective treatment for OCD. We'll gradually face the situations, thoughts, or images that trigger your anxiety while resisting the urge to perform compulsions or rituals. It sounds intimidating, but we work at your pace in structured, supportive ways. Over time, your brain learns that the feared outcomes don't happen and that you can tolerate uncertainty-helping you break free from OCD's cycle and reclaim your life.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change thought patterns and behaviors keeping you stuck. We will examine how your thoughts influence your feelings and actions, then develop strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and respond differently. CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and evidence-based-you'll learn concrete skills you can continue to use after therapy ends. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or life challenges, CBT provides tools for change.
