Great to meet you!

I work with teens and young adults who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, worry, or self-doubt. You might be dealing with intrusive or repetitive thoughts, perfectionism, or anxiety that feels hard to shut off—often during life transitions like school, early careers, relationships, or big decisions. Whether or not you identify with a diagnosis like anxiety or OCD, you’re looking for support, clarity, and practical tools to feel more grounded and in control.

My approach to therapy

With over 7 years of experience, I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety in tweens, teens, and young adults using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I help clients manage intrusive thoughts, reduce anxiety-driven behaviors, and build skills to navigate life transitions with confidence.

What you can expect from me

Therapy offers a supportive, structured space to understand what’s happening and learn tools that truly help. If you’re ready to feel less overwhelmed and more grounded, you don’t have to figure this out alone.
