Great to meet you!

My goal as your therapist is to help you incorporate your values and build useful skills to help start building a life that actually feels like yours. Many people I see have been carrying something heavy for a while and are tired. Living with anxiety or a relentless inner critic that never seems to quiet down can make you feel like you're constantly at war with your own mind, and that can be taxing. You deserve more than just getting through the day, and I would love to help you gain that feeling.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in OCD and anxiety disorders using a combination of ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention and DBT (Dialectal Behavior Therapy) skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Additionally, I've worked extensively with clients who are struggling through life adjustments, relationship issues, depression, and addiction with a values and strengths based approach that allows those I work with to feel empowered and seen.

What you can expect from me

In a first session my primary goal as the therapist is to allow the person in front of me to feel seen, heard, and accepted as they are, exactly where they are at. We'll spend time discussing your background, your interests, your struggles, and anything that helps foster rapport to begin creating a safe therapeutic space.
