Great to meet you!

If anxiety, intrusive thoughts, difficulty focusing, or depression are making everyday life feel harder, you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. I specialize in working with people experiencing anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and related concerns that can overlap with depression. With more than 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring clinical knowledge, specialized training, and a collaborative approach to helping you understand what you are experiencing. You are the expert on you, and I look forward to working together as a team.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, experiences, and goals. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you explore connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to address OCD-related patterns. I also draw from other therapeutic approaches when they fit your needs. Together, we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical coping strategies. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and work at a pace that respects your needs.

What you can expect from me

Our work together will focus on helping you better understand yourself and build tools you can use in everyday life. We will explore how anxiety, OCD, ADHD, or depression may be affecting you, recognize your strengths, and work toward goals that matter to you. You can expect opportunities to identify unhelpful patterns, practice coping strategies, and consider different ways of responding to challenges. Therapy is not about me telling you how to live. It is about working together to help you move forward with greater understanding and confidence.
