About My Clients

Are you feeling stuck in your compulsions and overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts? You have found a safe place to explore, grow, and heal. I am passionate about working with those experiencing OCD, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma-Related distress and dysfunction. I work to create meaningful and sustainable change both inside and outside of the therapy office.

My Background and Approach

Fancy letters next to my name include certification in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for OCD and Anxiety Disorders. What does this mean for you? We will compassionately work to build up your tolerance and resilience to those scary thoughts and images so that you can build a fulfilling and joy-filled life!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

OCD & Anxiety can feel like they control your life, keeping you stuck and chained from who and what you love the most! My goal is to give you the tools to build bravery and resilience in the face of fear, and back to living the life you want and so truly deserve! I am affirming of all LGBTQIA+ folks and am passionate about providing care to our community!
