Great to meet you!

Nice to meet you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have a passion for working with children, adolescents and adult individuals. I believe in facilitating a warm, empathetic environment which leads to growth, healing and self-actualization. I am well-versed in treating individuals with a multitude of concerns including but not limited to anxiety, OCD, depression, self-harm, family and relationship issues, life transitions, perfectionism, grief and trauma.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in evidence based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), one of the most effective means of treatment for anxiety and depressive disorders. CBT can help individuals identify self- defeating thoughts and feelings, replacing these with healthier beliefs, and ultimately leading to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. I also pursued specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) - the "go to" treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. ERP can also be helpful for those individuals experiencing intrusive/obsessional thoughts.

What you can expect from me

I offer a comfortable, non-judgmental space, combined with an integrative and collaborative approach to psychotherapy. I look forward to meeting you!
