About My Clients
My clients are the people who come to therapy expressing a great desire to feel better, feeling tired of their anxiety bullying them and keeping them from living a life they know deep down they deserve. They are people who often have scary and intrusive thoughts, images, or urges and have tried on their own to get rid of these experiences but haven't found their attempts to be effective long-term. They are also families who have heartache and tension, and want to find solutions to work together.
My Background and Approach
I am a specialist in OCD, anxiety, and family therapy, which means I focus exclusively on treating these concerns and have dedicated thousands of hours to training and clinical work in these areas. This specialization allows me to provide a high level of care tailored specifically to those navigating these challenges. I chose to become a specialist, rather than a generalist, because I value being able to offer expert, in-depth care. I hold deep knowledge of the conditions I treat and the evidence-based approaches I use, rather than applying surface-level strategies across a wide range of concerns. In addition to my clinical work, I have taught at the graduate level and am the co-founder of THRIVE: Training Hub for Anxiety and OCD Intervention and Education, where I train other mental health professionals to become confident and competent specialists in treating OCD and anxiety.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that everyone deserves to live a beautiful and meaningful life, and that each person holds unique values that, when supported and nurtured, can be used to enhance their quality of life, build confidence, foster deeper connections, and move toward meaningful goals. I also believe that life can be incredibly hard and, at times, unfair. But within each of us exists a quiet resilience and power that often goes unspoken. It’s this strength that can transform even the most difficult experiences into opportunities for growth and healing. Finding the right therapist is a vital part of the healing journey. No one should give up until they find someone who shares their core values and can walk alongside them, offering support, guidance, and compassion, until they’re ready to spread their wings and fly. As a therapist, that is my ultimate goal: to help my clients become their own therapists, so they feel confident and capable of navigating life without needing me forever.
