About My Clients

Anxiety, chronic worry, and fear can take up a lot of mental space and quietly shrink your life. I help with overthinking, avoidance, perfectionism, people-pleasing, difficulty resting, and sleep struggles. I also provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, including intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

My Background and Approach

Sessions are practical and collaborative. We'll notice the patterns that keep anxiety in charge, then practice new skills for the moments that usually pull you into spirals. You'll build tools to handle anxious thoughts, navigate uncertainty, and step out of self-criticism when it shows up. The focus is on changes you can use in your everyday life. Over time, things that once felt overwhelming start to feel more manageable, and life opens up again.
