Great to meet you!

I have been practicing since 2022 in both community behavioral centers and in private practice. I treat a range of presentations, and specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders. If you are interested in working together, please email me and we will schedule a free consultation to determine if we're a good fit!

My approach to therapy

My work with clients is a collaborative partnership in which cultivating connection is a central component. We will strive to identify and reduce barriers on your path, while we lean into your strengths and goals to process experiences and build capacity and skills. Initially trained as a trauma-informed cognitive-behavioral therapist, I have expanded and shifted my work to integrate emotions-focused modalities and relational and systems approaches. This multi-dimensional method allows us to fully understand your experience and more precisely meet your needs as you pursue the change you’d like to make.

I am also trained and certified in exposure and response prevention (ERP) for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and am currently pursuing more extensive training in this area to address other presentations on the OCD spectrum. If you’re interested in working together to address OCD, treatment with ERP will effectively structure our sessions and the time between to help develop new critical learning and eliminate compulsions.

What you can expect from me

I strongly encourage you to utilize a free 30-minute video (not phone) consult with me before we get started. I can share more about my approach, answer any questions you may have, and give you a chance to determine if we're a good fit.

Our first full session will discuss your presenting concerns, any past therapy you've had and what about that you'd like to continue or discontinue in our work, and other necessary background information to help me understand how I can best be of help to you. I welcome any specific goals you have in mind but if you're not sure what those are yet, that's okay too.
