About My Clients

I work with clients who are struggling with OCD, Anxiety, Stress/Burnout, Perfectionism, Depression/Mood related concerns. I also work with parents to help support and understand their childs symptoms and behaviors. If your fears, worries, and anxious thoughts are holding you back from enjoying your life, I can help! Even if your life is good but you want to make it great, I can help! I can help you lead a life that is guided by your values rather than your fear, worries, and what ifs!

My Background and Approach

My approach is to work collaboratively with you to help you gain clarity and insight about the patterns in your life that may be contributing to your difficult emotions. I specialize in evidence-based practices, such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and supportive parenting for anxious child emotions (SPACE). I work with people of all ages and all walks of life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I really enjoy genuine human connection. I love hearing my clients unique stories and sharing laughter when appropriate. I believe the clients I work with are so brave and I truly admire their willingness to be vulnerable and share their story with me. You are not alone. Change is possible and I’m here to empower you to be your best self. Values are extremely important to me personally and professionally. Both personally and professionally I strive to be someone who is compassionate, inclusive, and authentic. I am not an expert in anti-oppressive practice or social justice, but I am committed to ongoing learning.
